Adding up the prices for the bits (body, nut and spanner) gives £155.18 plus postage for the Myford one without any collets

The Chronos one is £76.55 including postage

I don't have a current Arrand price list but in 2004 their price was £82.77

  • VAT = £97.25 plus postage.

I hope you get what you pay for!

I should say thet the Arrand one I ended up with is a very nicely made piece of kit and fits so well on the spindle nose that it can be a bit of a fiddle to get on. The amount I machined off the collet seat to get it accurate was minute - I made two passes wit the boring tool at the same setting, taking off no more than a thou or so.

From the new ARC catalogue ER 25 backplate's chucks, 60mm dia. £31.95

95mm dia £32.95 With nut but no spanner.

Spanner is £3.50 and a backplate's for a Myford [ semi finished ] is £13.50

All VAT inclusive but less postage.

So that gives you £48.95 for something you know will fit and run true.

Same applies if you want to go to ER32 but that's another quid.

Chronos (I assume it's an own brand item) have also started doing them to fit a Boxford. 125 quid though! it says "TOP QUALITY BRAND NEW BRITISH PRODUCT" part number BFC1.

No connection except being a slightly pi$$ed off customer that just got stung for an extra 20% on a lathe chuck from them by clicking the wrong link.

Do Arrand have a website/online presence?
