This is a great tip, but how do you remove a stuck pinon gear retaining pin from an older VM120?

After using a vicmarc 120 Chuck for 7 years I find that nothing compares to this Chuck.. The Chuck is built like a brick shit house and has never failed. I have used 4 other chucks and they all just suck.. I Love my vicmarc Chuck and simply the very best made..

Brilliant engineering

My brain is hurting now. 😮

Why not just buy a CNC unit.

Interesting gadget. 4k seems a bit of a spend unless you have a good market for oval bowls though!

what belt is used for this machine

That didn't work for me. I tried everything including soaking in release oils, heating the jaw and different size punches to cover the whole head of the screw. But the easiest way was to use a drill press and the exact same size drill as the head of the screw and drill out the head. Once that was done the jaw came off and I was able to unscrew the remaining threaded portion just using my fingers. Seems to me the problem is the screws are made from the same grade steel as the jaws so they tend to weld together under excessive tightening.

A friendly hint for next video. Turn off the radio.🤫

Can you show us how you machine the table surfaces on your bed extensions.

I hope that kid didn’t pack the bearings in my lathe. Not how to grease a tapered spindle bearing.

Its called a race. The bearing is the spinny part. The race is what the bearing rides on. Otherwise good video

Worth scraping any crap out of the allen key hole also....

Am kind of surprised that you don't sell an 'engineering' style jaw for these chucks,,,,

That pop says they're machined to good tolerances. As expected. Awesome work Vicmarc

What vicmarc model is that lathe?

Beautiful lathes. Good to see you talk on maintenance. Im hoping to collect an old vl250 soon and will be giving it a birthday. Cheers!!

I don't think I want my Variable speed controller sucking in metal dust.

I have vm 120 with dowels in them (not ones with Allen key head). One of them is stuck. Hitting /shocking the chuck even after applying lube. Any other suggestions?

turn that fkn music off............couldnt hear jack shit.

May I suggest some improvements to your youtube site? Make some playlists. I want to learn about which wood lathe chuck to purchase. I am finding it difficult to find a video with the correct information. Look how many videos there are here, and you are making me read the title of each and every one, only find that it is the wrong video. Here are the playlists you need to create: How to pick a lathe, how to pick a chuck, how to pick ___ (other equipment) ; and then How to Set up.... with each piece of equipment; and then. Under what lathe chuck, I would want to see a title telling me big, little, small, etc. I do not know your chucks, or how they are named. VM100 means nothing to me. Pen chuck, and Small bowl chuck, and Large bowl chuck all mean something to me. Especially since I did not buy your product. Yet. So, this is my free market research delivered right to where it is needed, the youtube channel hosts.

This place looks better than Harrods in London!

i had my chuck lock up on me and trying to scroll it i broke the gear teeth on both pinions :/ ... can i buy the 12 tooth pinions separately? anybody know?

Clear and concise. Thank you

Are belts still available for the VL100? I live in the U.S. THANKS

Thanks for doing this Marco. Great idea to help owners with their maintenance. If I want to replace the bearings were can I find the sizes for my lathe. It is a vl300

I've just bought the grinding jig that fits to my 8" bench grinder and am about to set it up. I'm impressed with the weight and quality compared to the US unit we use at The Men's Shed and a big bonus, it's made in Australia and it's about half the price.

Thanks. Would be nice to see how you mount the bowl jaws on the chuck...sorry newbie here.

Mate where did you get that thrid arm from super handy

thank you for the video, how old (or how many hours) do you think this lathe had done to need this bearing seat swapping ?

W głowę się walnij tym młotkiem! Co za fizol...

Oh ye nah u might get some in brown town it’s a pretty good town- big lez r.i.p actually nah just go to gumytree

Hello do u know we’re I can get some bowl blanks

How much $ this chuck?

This very informative video helped me immensely with changing out my bearings on my lathe. Thank you very much for posting this.

worst idea...the grinding dust ruin the bedways, its better expend buyying a bench grinder for a expensive woodlathe

Bring back the 2 HP low speed grinder. Get CMG to make a double ended shaft motor if the Asian ones are not up to par. Who wants to remove your work from the lathe to grind a tool. That is just a lot of messing around. Bad idea.

*So far so good!>>>**t.co/dxawOe485Q ** It works great for small projects and beginners. I use it to make bent wood rigs. If you are looking for a high powered machine, this is not it, it doesn’t take much for it to stop spinning. For me, it works just fine and the stopping doesn’t bother me. I am a beginner and it makes me feel better to know I won’t lose a limb if my shirt gets hung up or something.*

Interesting concept VicMarc :)

What angle is the dovetail on the jaws?

*Thanks for that handy tip Marco :)*

*The Goblet Toolrest would be very handy as it would eliminate 'tool-chatter' when a gouge is cantilevered extended past normal limits.*

*Thanks Vicmarc Machinery, and Terry :) Great video-series on the Vicmarc range.*
