Grinding the jaws on my three jaw chuck
AdeV:
Now there's an idea... my "good" 3-jaw is starting to get stiff spots in the scroll (customer abuse, I suspect...), it's "not bad" when it comes to repeatability, but it's not particularly brilliant either.
So.. maybe the time has come (er, is coming - I'm waaay behind on every single one of my projects :poke:) to look at the idea of making a fresh scroll for the more knackered chuck - the theory being, if I cock it up, no harm done.
Or maybe I should just suck on the bank account and buy a decent new chuck... naaah, who am I kidding? :lol:

Surely with your Chinese connections you can source a suitably sized chuck at a very modest price :scratch:
vtsteam:

I hate to be the voice of reason getting in the way of exotic bevel gear construction, but right spots mean you have chips in the he scroll. Just open it and clean it out!

No, please! Continue to be the voice of reason - I'd never even considered that! Anyway, this is my "good" (slightly better, still pretty awful) chuck... I reckoned if I could rescue the really bad one then I'd be able to do the same to the better one continue using the rescued one forever amen!
Fortunately I've been working almost exclusively with aluminium recently, so with luck it's ali swarf rather than anything harder...
