Which of the distributors are carrying the new ALPS chuck? I tried to go through here to FISHSTICKS but there is an internal server error. This looks like the upgrade I've been hoping for! Re: Batson // ALPS Rod chuck

I just saw that ALPS Upgraded rod lathe chuck today in the Batson newsletter.
I really like how they included the multiple drier speed pully upgrade and I see that their chuck jaws are tapped so the little extra jaw gizmos are held on with screws. Kudos to the Batson Team for a very well done upgrade! Raymond Adams Eventually, all things merge, and a river runs through it.. Re: Batson // ALPS Rod chuck

This does look like a good improvement. Guess I might need to do a little upgrade! Kyle Robinson Re: Batson // ALPS Rod chuck

I ordered one (and am thinking about a second). I like the idea of replacing the mount along with the chuck. I also like the idea of the multiple pulleys on both the dryer motor and the back of the chuck. My original lathe has a plastic/nylon support. I upgraded the second wrapper with a PacBay chuck the first year they were available. It's better than the original but this one looks even better and the price is good. Re: Batson // ALPS Rod chuck

Apparently these are currently hard to come by. I got a note from Karry Batson that they are currently out of stock. Next shipment is expected circa Sept 22-nd. Wonder where they all went as I don't remember a lot of "press" / reviews Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
