BISON Donates to Preservation of U.S. WWII Submarine



The USS Pampanito, a WWII submarine museum and memorial, recently received a 4-jaw chuck and an adapter plate courtesy of BISON USA. The museum's goal is to bring maritime history to life, and to make the Pampanito as complete and accurate to its 1945 configuration as possible. The museum educates approximately 4,000 students in day and overnight programs, and hosts over 100,000 visitors a year.

The crew is always repairing and restoring the equipment on the boat so it can be better preserved and interpreted. For the past few years the crew of the boat has been able to use a shared public machine shop, but having an in-house shop was crucial. In November 2015 they received the donation of a Bridgeport mill and in February 2016 they received the donation of a LeBlond Regal Servo shift lathe with almost no tooling. BISON USA has donated a 7-850-0800 4-saw 8" Semi-Steel Independent Chuck with solid saws, and a 7-878-0860 D1-6 adapter plate.

Rich Pekelney, a crew member restoring the USS Pampanito, said, "This donation will prove crucial to the restoration of the submarine, as this chuck will be used for all the high accuracy and irregular work on the lathe."
