I have a HAAS SL30 with a 12" Samchully hydraulic chuck.
I want to change it over to a 4 jaw. We mainly manufacture split parts and must center the split line in the chuck before turning.
The back of the Samchully chuck does not have an A2-6 taper. It has a flat back and uses an adapter plate to connect to the A2-6 spindle nose.
The chuck I would like to use is a 10" 4 jaw with an A2-6 on the back. My question is can I bolt it directly to the spindle nose? There are ac couple of bolt patterns on there and some holes would not be filled. Would there be any chance of contamination of the spindle bearings? Is that plate on the back of the Samchully strictly an adapter or does it offer some sort of sealing of the extra holes?
I have already found the parameters to ignore chuck pressure and allow the hydraulic pump breaker to be opened so it does not run all the time.
Thank you.
