Re: Pipemaking chucks
Mark Yingling, and I only have a phone number for him. Anyone interested can PM me, and I'll send the info along.
I bought one of these, and while expensive, it's totally worth it. They're about $830. I've used several other chucks, and none of them even comes close to this.

Re: Pipemaking chucks
The jaws that Mark makes for this Bison 2 jaw chuck are very nice. I also have a set of custom jaws that were made before I knew of Mark,s design. The whole setup used to cost only $500.00 but the price of the chuck more than doubled in the past few years. I am using this chuck on a 9 inch right now but you really need a larger swing for it.

Re: Pipemaking chucks
Here are some pics of the custom jaws I have on the same chuck. They are pretty simple and could be easily made from aluminum. I can also move the jaws to the outer hole for extra wide blocks. It does get a little scary drilling a long shank bowl on my little 9" jet.
