KEN LAMB

DRILLING ALIGNMENT CHUCK ™

MANUFACTURED FROM A SOLID BILLET OF AIRCRAFT GRADE 7075 ALUMINUM.

I am pleased to offer a chuck designed to mount to your 3 jaw chuck for stummel work. , with the convenience of not having to change out chucks for stem work.

This chuck can be directly mounted to your lathe spindle if you don't have a 3 jaw chuck and cut stem another way.

Peter Heeschen gets the credit for this concept. I just redesigned it a bit with American machining. Patent pending.

WEIGHT 3.5 LBS / 1.6 KGS

Pricing on the Lamb Chuck is ~~$700.00~~ ea. U.S. Dollars.

NEW PRICING ON MY CHUCK.....

I chose to make ten chucks at one time to reduce my material costs and amortize my setup cost.

I am able to reduce my price to my customers and maintain the margins I need.

The downside I will only make ten chucks at a time before Chicago.

NEW PRICE:

$500.00 each U.S. Dollars

I have 3 left from 10 chucks in Chicago as of 27JN10.

Where is my two jaw chuck alteration?

I stopped advertising this service due to most of my customers can do this themselves. I choose to help a professional pipe maker increase his/her efficiency with high quality innovative designed tools to help relieve the rudimentary and tedious tasks involved in making a handmade smoking pipe. Freeing up time to spend on design and aesthetics.

If you need this alteration I can refer you to a source that will do this for you.

Thank you for understanding my market and focus.
