Question Regarding 4 Jaw Lathe Chuck

Did Shopsmith make a 4 jaw lathe chuck? I received one with my used Shopsmith with no markings and I am just wondering if it came with it or an aftermarket accessory.

Thank you

Shopsmith has sold a lot of Nova G3 chucks, manufactured by Technatool. I have one, and it’s a nice chuck, but I don’t recall any branding marks on the chuck itself. A Google search should turn up plenty of photos that you can compare to your chuck.

To my knowledge, Shopsmith never sold any machine bundles that included a 4-jaw chuck.

IF you want to post a pic of your 4 jaw lathe chuck, maybe someone here will recognize it and let you know what brand it is so that maybe you can get a manual for it. Thanks.
