| Very Easy Setting Method for 4-Jaw |

I was sent a link to this very simple (and seemingly foolproof) method for quickly adjusting round work in a 4-jaw chuck. I'll be in the workshop making a second chuck key tomorrow. [ Invalid YouTube link ] Phil. Update: Small key made tonight out of 12mm silver steel, hardened & tempered. I used a John Stevenson ER32 square collet block to machine the square rather than setting up the dividing head - very quick. |

That's just what I needed!!! I've spent most of my lathe life with a faceplate, and a 4 jaw has been frustrating to deal with by comparison. Two keys, of course!!! :bang: Thank You!!!!! :beer: |

Wow!!! How easy was that....? :bow: I've always shied away from using the 4j in favour of collets, but when it comes to bigger diameters the the 4j comes into its own and a lot easier to set up now I've seen a different approach.... Thanks Phil... :thumbup: |
