May I know what is the black disc between the flywheel and the chuck jaws in the pics showing the driving by fraction?
I've 2 x 12mm thick disc to turn and would like to use the same method you have shown.
Regards,
Wong

I was out in the shed again today, but I abandoned as there is something I just can't get right!
I marked out the piston, and I need to drill the hole through for the piston. Though it's offset about .375" so Ive tried to offset it in the 3 jaw with packing to little effect, I just can't get my centre punch mark to centre!
Here's my problem.
Would it be better to use the 4-jaw chuck for this? or is there a more successful way of doing this with a 3-jaw instead of trial and error.

Here's where you get to practice setting up that new 4-jaw! :thumbup:

4-Jaw would be the best choice, once you do it a couple times it becomes easy

Nice work Ross,
You can calculate the amount of packing you need but it's nowhere near as obvious as you'd think! Marv has a program to work it out called ECCENT but it doesn't seem to work on my system anymore for some reason!
