I don't think drilling through the scroll will do it much good. :doh: Roy |

Towards the edge of the chuck however (on some chucks) it is posible to drill through the chuck without drilling through the scroll plate. :beer: DaveH |

I came up with a solution to this a few years back with my 6" rotary table and chuck that's a just a bit smaller. It's a plate that bolts onto the rotary table using the T-slots, and allows bolts to thread into the back of the chuck. Alignment is done by doing up the bolts loosely, then tapping it concentric while watching your DI. It works, and I've used it many times. My only complaint is that it takes a bit of time to set it up. I've been trying to come up with a better idea for years now. I think I have a picture or two showing the whole setup, but I'll need to look around a bit. I'll post here when I find it. -Sparky |
