Jaws for Buck chuck

[blockmanjohn]

Hi,

I'm just taking a long shot here, but I am looking for a set of outside jaws for my Buck chuck. It is a 6" adjus-tru, 3 jaw chuck model 3634. Nothing on E-Bay and I really don't expect to find them. You never know.

Thanks, John.

That bad news you would need to to manufacture of Chuck.
At time they where after market of Chuck jaws.
In LA the used tooling companies that may have jaws.

You may be able to make do with soft jaws from Aluminium which you bolt onto the regular jaws. I use them mostly for discs but it should be quite possible to use them for cylindrical parts too. As long as you preload the soft jaws when machining them at the right diameter. For me the right diameter is slightly undersize as this gives you six lines of contact rather than three.

I also have a pile of useless (to me) chuck jaws, but need to know what yours look like to compare. (And ebay always has chuck jaws listed, but the same problem, they don't tell you the critical dimensions.)

Also, Buck exists, but being a Hardinge company, you will have to dig deep...

Hi Tom,

The inside jaws I have measure:
length-2.467
height-1.735
width-.738
groove width-.310

This should be enough information to start. Thanks for looking, John.

Dave,

This is my Buck chuck #3634 with the ID jaws, John.

 

[SmithDoor]

It looks well used Chuck
Be for spending money jaws check the scol bearing for wear it should be a clearance of less than 0.0005"
Greater will give chucking problems.

I would appreciate some information, I am looking for jaws for what appears to be a six inch six jaw buck chuck. I have the chuck but no jaws. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks Hoss

Need to check the clearance of the scroll bearing.
A lot of chucks are worn out and if you have loss scroll your work will not be center.
