I recently turned these finger pulls for a mate whilst doing them I noticed some run out with my chuck assembly which while I managed to overcome I wasn’t happy about
After a chat with an engineering mate I clocked the chuck & found it rotated with less than a thou runout
The problem was with the jaws so yesterday I nipped over to his & he kindly mounted the whole shooting match on his lathe & trued them up starting on the internal dovetail
He then moved onto the external dovetail
The black marker showing how much it was out
The finished chuck & jaws, he dressed every surface so hopefully however I want to use it it should now run true
If you want to see a short video of the machining it’s on my Instagram feed
Sadly I’ve not got chance to try the chuck out as I’ve been seconded to Rogers neck of the woods :?
