Lathe chuck backplate.

Making a backplate for my brand new four jaw chuck.

What I like the best about you is not that you see a problem, you see a solution. Your ability to machine a solution out of what looks like scrap is a lesson to us all. Think outside the box and just do it. Voila, you did and it worked 👏👏👍😀

[@Rustinox]

It's like a puzzle. You just have to fit the pieces.

[@normsweet1710]

Clear and precise way to measure point to point ! Good example of using what’s at your disposal to hold down cost 👍

[@Rustinox]

Thanks. For bolt holes this will do :)

[@Just1GuyMetalworks]

When faced with difficult problems sometimes you gotta think outside the box, well done 👍😁👍. Glad to see you hitting the shop, especially with a big job like that! Thanks for the share, Michel! Wishing you many hot nurses at the hospital 😉. Cheers!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Chris. Thinking out of the box is indeed a big part of the challenge.

[@28gwdavies]

Another great video where I learned a lot, thank you very much Michel. Wishing you well with your hospital visit, and keep your mask on when you're chasing the nurses down the corridors!

[@Rustinox]

Thank you, Glyn. Don't worry, the nurses survived.

Perfect timing. I am cutting a backplate for a new chuck for my dividing head. Thanks for your videos and your courage. Peace.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Brian. I hope it give some ideas.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

Hey, nothing wrong with how you mounted the chuck, you did it how you could with what was at hand. I for one appreciate how you do things in your shop and like to get ideas from your work too. That chuck will be very handy for you.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Everett. With a bit of imagination you can do a lot.

[@trits4227]

Look forward very much to seeing the in operation, Stay well my friend, our friend, we all need more of youre videos and humour!!! Regards Mike and Laine

Excellent job, that was alot of work for a small lathe but you made it work. Great job man.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks. It left me a bucket full of chips.

[@trits4227]

Hi Rusty, That was a big chunk of metal you turned there nice one and nice looking chuck. Looking forward to seeing the finished chuck. Good luck for the future, Kind regards Mike

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Mike. One day you will see it in action.

[@oldschoolengineer58]

Ey up Rustinox! its truly great to see you back in the shop doing a bit! Keep safe brother.

Thanks Roy. I will.

I'm facing the same problem to make a backplate for my new larger chuck. I will follow your example. Thanks for the video

[@Rustinox]

Go for it Gilles. Glad it helped.

Michel good afternoon: yes you will survive with the grace of God he will give you many years of life and in good health have faith my friend: I am also doing medical follow-up due to having smoked for many years now comes the consequences, thankfully I stopped smoking in time, just taking small drugs to recover bad things from God.

Thanks Brian. Hospital visit wos ok.

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday, certainly a great job done, my lathe is the same, I can’t cut the same thread as the spindle, it’s a bugger really, I hope all goes well at the hospital mate, please take care mate, I looking forward to seeing the 4 jaw I action, Cheers Matty

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Matty. You will see it in action one of these days.

Nice work. You will love having a four jaw chuck. Take care

[@Rustinox]

This one comes from Amazon. 108€ plus shipping. I think it's not too expensive.

[@EmptyPocketProductions]

Great video, Been following you for some time now - Gluck with your medical procedures!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Chris. Everything went well.

[@kenjohnson6338]

Just done a 2 plate kit for a optimum 250 4 jaw, onto a minitor d360.... what a blast..lol.. near completion.. tomorrow just taper to do on quick release mechanism..

[@Rustinox]

Nice. Go for it.

[@christophermaurer1271]

Michel, I have not been getting notified about your uploads and some others . It may be just my computer or maybe You tube. Good to see you again and thank you for taking the time to upload . Cheers from Australia.

[@Rustinox]

I didn't change any settings in KZbin. I told you this channel is a bit bizar.

[@RolingRandom]

Great chuck removal system :) I think I would have mounted the backplate directly onto the chuck without that spacer.

[@Rustinox]

Thgat was my first plan. But my lathe can't make the thread pitch that's on the spindle nose.

[@RolingRandom]

@@Rustinox I mean mount the chuck directly to that back plate you have in the video. Sure it's smaller than the chuck but I don''t think that's a problem.

[@wayneacaron8744]

and nicely done at that! poppy's workshop says HI

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

Thanks David. The doctors do a great job. I will be OK.

Good to see you back Rustinox. Back plates spot on. Let us know what you think of the chuck when you've used it for a while. Tony

[@Rustinox]

Thanks Tony. I will.

[@RaptorMachineToolCo]

Good job Rusty.. B well!!!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks. I will.

[@sparkiekosten5902]

How nice is it when you bring out the shine in a rusty old piece of metal? The joy I get from watching it turn into a shiny object is most satisfying! Just as a side note when you measures the holes for the chuck to mount to the backing plate you could have used a set of centre punch transfer set as well instead of measuring? I hate mathematics so I will do that as a last resort! Keep up the good work!

[@Rustinox]

I hate maths as well. That's why i prefer using a construction method with the dividers.

[@LetsRogerThat]

Michel I need your assistance. I got my 8 inch round stock but started wondering if machining it while bolted to the current backplate might introduce concentricity issues if the 4 holes for the 4 jaw are not the same concentric as the 3 holes on the current backplate. How did yours turn out? Any issues after you attached it the the 4 jaw? I have a backup idea and need feedback. Screw the current backplate to the lathe, then bolt the new round stock to the back of the 4 jaw and grab the 4 jaw to the old backplate. This way all the machining would be on the new 4 jaw and would in theory avoid any concentricity issues. Your thoughts?

[@Rustinox]

As you can see in the video, I first turned the diameter that regisrers on the smaller (original) backplate. From the moment that is done you can flip the part and work the other side. You can take it off and mount it back again as much as yoy want. It will be repeatable and concentric. I hope this helps.

[@LetsRogerThat]

@@Rustinox merci 😊

[@CraigsWorkshop]

Hi Rusty, great to see a video from you. I love recycling old materials too. I like your method for making the backplate adapter. Will you still have access to your three jaw chuck? Cheers, Craig

[@Rustinox]

Yes, easy. Just take out the 3 bolts on the small plate and put the 3 jaw on.

[@gogoubai]

Looks like a machinnest version of Jimmy Page.

[@Rustinox]

Lol :)

[@longcaster]

Nice.

[@Rustinox]

Thanks.

[@chuirios365]

Toolmakers always do machine projects to satisfy they're needs. Given the situation with that odd thread, I would have done the same thing!

[@Rustinox]

And it works.

[@howder1951]

Looking good Michel! Nice chuck and don't you love turning a piece of rusty scrap into a finished piece? The lathe is like my motorcycle, as the guy at the shop said, it is only a down payment on the accessories . Cheers and looking forward to seeing you in a few days!

[@Rustinox]

Thanks How. I always try to use scrap to make useful things out of it.
