No need to bother commenting Bill, from down under. Cheers Euro Roger From: MWF <mailto:mwfos...@earthlink.net> Sent: Monday, March 23, 2015 2:22 AM To: legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: sears craftsman router crafter I see/now understand. Since the piece being milled is not spinning fast, as it does in a lathe, that square cone does not have to be very robust. The Nova Chuck or other regular lathe chucks, that are subject to much higher RPM, are "heavy duty" by comparison. (Euro Roger - did you note my use of RPM? I paid attention to your comments about that abbreviation; proof that you can teach a middle-aged dog new tricks.) Thanks again, Joe.
