    Lathe chucks

    I have about 5 Nova chucks (hate changing jaws) and needed another for a different set of jaws. Because of availability and price bought a Record SC4 companion chuck.

    Record Power pen mandrel collet

    Yesterday I treated myself to a MT2 Record pen Mandrel and noticed that it tightens the mandrel bar by means of a collet does this mean I can use other collets for holding small bits of work and if so what size of collet set do I need?
