Hardinge lathe chuck holder

thingiverse

I finally got to the point that I couldn't fit all my chucks in my lathe stand (A horrible state of affairs...not!). These mounts are set up so you can screw them onto a board and mount your Hardinge chucks! AND they keep junk out of the taper! The locking mechanism works just like on the Hardinge: slide onto the slot, and turn to lock. They are not particularly tight, though. The lock pin will ensure your chucks don't slide off, though. Print Settings Printer: WeldingRodBot Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Yes Resolution: Coarse is OK Infill: 30% Notes: I am printing these with a Volcano nozzle: 1.2mm! You want at least two shells with a 1.2mm nozzle. With a normal nozzle I would go with at least 4 shells. Make sure that your support system leaves some gap between the support and the walls near it! The supports are needed; unfortunately, you can't taper the lower surfaces; the lock pin needs to interact with them, and needs the square corner. Post-Printing After printing, you have to remove the supports from the locking slot. I've modified these from the Hardinge standard so that you can take a saw (I use a drywall saw) and cut along the bottom edge. When you cut through into the gap, stop. I used a chisel to trim the supports off of the top edge. Clean off any bumps on the tapered surface. Run a drill bit through the mounting holes, if needed.
