Your first picture made me wonder if you are trying to turn that board or drill a hole in it. As for "a good all around chuck" as you asked you will probably get many different opinions/answers. I have the standard Lathe Drive, Screw Drive and Face Plates for my Shopsmiths. If you want to use any of them, any era of the Shopsmith brand ones will work from the Model 10's to the Mark series machines. I also have the Nova G3 chuck and find it works well for me. Others with more turning experience than I have will give their recommendations too. What kind of projects you want to do will also influence what you may need or want.

By the way your Model 10ER does look like it has been well kept.

Hey Russ
I couldn't figure out how to get the pic to rotate so I just left it like it was :)

It has been years since I have done a lot of turning and I am looking at trying my hand at some bowls and also would like to do some spheres for an idea I have for awards for the Highland Games.

I appriciate the feedback and information.

Sean
