Great video! I enjoy watching people work through problems. Using the old studs was a great solution. I just got my first mini lathe today...thank god for youtubers. Cheers

When dialling in a part, with the indicator on the outside, the rule is "tighten the highs, loosen the lows".

I imagine this will go exactly the same for me while installing my first 4 jaw chuck. I appreciate the video to help me along the way!

When you were trying to undo the "backplate", you were actually undoing the nuts on the back end on of the spindle. Those nuts set the load on the spindle bearings, so need to be retightened, the same amount as they were undone.

Little hint, color tape the jaws, you can zero in in about 2 minutes.

Thanks for video, we all have doh! moments, I would have been the same as you with working out how to fasten the 4 jaw screws 😀. I have seen some great videos on how to true up stock in a 4 jaw, sorry on mobile phone so cannot post link. Cheers

Hi I would have sent the chuck back it looks well damaged on the back and needs to be a good fit out of the box

Abom79 and my favourite, build something cool Channel, both have excellent videos on how to set up 4 jaws. Hope that helps. Thanks again for your time and sharing the things you learn. Cheers

I plan on making a back plate adapter with a bigger chuck at 6 inches.
@airgunningyup6 жыл бұрын
just practice.. My mind simply works " high and low " nowadays.. IF its pushing my indicator , tighten down and loosen the opposite side, if its letting my indicator out further, time to back off the jaw and tighten that far side .. It used to take me 10 minutes , its now about 1 minute to get dialed in.. I still prefer my 3 jaw, especially after the grinding.

Checkyou didn't have to take spindle apart all you had to do is get some set screws long enough to fit in Chuck and go thru spindle and use nuts
@samalverio31575 жыл бұрын
no no no doing it wrong buddy use the fourj jaw Chuck jaws to hold on to the bar u have on 3 jaw Chuck and use the jaws to center body of 4 jaw Chuck then cut ur back to fit spindle diameter. Again use long set s scews in 4 jaw and slip thru spindle nose then just use nuts

Always place a piece of cardboard on the top of the lathe bed so that if you drop the chuck you won't damage the top of the bed. Just like you you did!

Did you consider clampung the 4 jaw onto the spindle plate without involving the 4 jaw when opening up the relief?
@MyRobertadams3 жыл бұрын
Not sure how that would work.
@eltvetc8365 жыл бұрын
you need to use dead center i think before you tighten the Chuck on the spindle plate to get center.

You are not stupid. I figured it out just as you did. I am @8:52. I would locktite the set screws in. I am sure that is what you do. I have the same spindle plate config as you on my "Central Machinery" Lathe. If you like the chuck you got, can you provide a link? Thanks man! You did all the hard work for us. On to the rest of your video. And I am Subbed!! :-)

How did you remove the pins that kept the 4 jaw's screws in place?
@nauroticdax4 жыл бұрын
bit of a late reply but doing them one by one put 2 nuts on the screw and lock them together (loosen the bottom one while tightening the top one) then just loosen the bottom nut, because it is locked by the one on top of it it will loosen the screw. To tighten the screw back in do the same but tighten the top nut. (you will of course need 2 spanners the same size to do this)

Can you explain in short why 4 jaws is better than 3. Better grip for smaller workpiece? Or something else.
@jw2006 жыл бұрын
All makes sense. Thank you very much for your time and answer. I will consider buying it in future.

Just finished the video. You are my hero. If you want to see a master at dialing in a four chuck, watch Abom79. (Adam). I am pretty sure you know of him. ;-) But he didn't show me what you did. Wow. I work with a guy named Robert Adams. Huh.
