Adam Savage's One Day Builds: New Lathe Chuck!

Adam is super excited to install a new lathe chuck he bought to upgrade his shop's machine lathe--it's an adjustable six-jaw reversible chuck, which is a big step up from the chuck he had previously installed. Adam completely disassembles the piece to clean all of its parts and shows us how the self-centering jaws work, before greasing it up and installing the chuck for a test run!

Adam you may want to invest in a Sky Hook with a tool post mount. Use it for lifting chucks, vices and large pieces onto lathes, mills, benches up to 500lbs. Don't want to see one of my favorite makers get hurt muscling chucks in and out of the lathe. It also makes fine tuning a hell of a lot easier because you don't have to move the chuck with your back. Smarter not harder. www.skyhookmfr.com/premium-tool-post-mount-sky-hooks.html

[@joepie221]

Hi Adam. The 6 jaw adjustable with reversible jaws is a great addition to the shop. Its my favorite. Just an FYI, the cam pins in the back plate have a circumferential groove on each one about 1/4" up from the threaded stud. Thats a reference line intended to be aligned with the face of the back plate at installation. this normally gives you the correct cam rotation and locking action when you tighten the cams. You should also make a wood cradle for installing and removing those chucks and put a piece of aluminum in the jaws to act like a handle. Its the first thing I do with a new chuck and it makes it much easier and eliminates the worry of dropping the chuck or smashing a finger. Stay well bud, I enjoy your work.

[@joepie221]

@@andybaldman I'd be happy knowing half of what Adam has forgotten about general special effect construction. I admire his skills. Very diverse.

[@rustedfriend]

Thanks for the tip Joe. My lathe came with what looks to be close to the same 6 jaw that Adam got, except mine does still say that it's a buck. I hadn't really considered how to improve the process of taking it on and off because it was my only chuck. That is until I picked up a 4 jaw and magnet chuck on auction recently and all of a sudden I have multiple stupidly heavy things that I need to move on and off my Monarch :P (the 6 jaw seemed huge to me, but it's now my smallest chuck)

@@BLKMGK4 Yeah, I'm planning on hanging a block and tackle over the lathe on an i beam track for taking chucks on and off as well as the tailstock and materials.

[@mpetersen6]

Joe, we always kept our chucks and faceplate on a rack mounted to the back to the bed. These had tapped holes for eye bolts and we used a hoist. Most of our lathes (LeBlonds*) had L type long nose tapers. *the superintendent was a LeBlond admirer. One feature on the later Regals (1970 or so) was the front ways were replaceable. They were hardened and ground and were held on by cap screws from underneath. Most bed wear occurs near the head stock anyways on the operator's side. Unfortunately LeBlond did not put two sets of tapped holes so you could swap the front way end for end.

[@edbennett8257]

Lathe tip. Always keep a piece of plywood large enough to cover both ways close at hand, and put it on the ways before removing or installing a chuck. That way if (when) your hands slip and you drop a chuck on them it does not damage either. Also, chucks like this with fine adjustment are meant to compensate for minor variations in the jaws and scroll, meaning that the reference point for adjustment should be a piece of material clamped in the jaws, not the body of the chuck. This adjustment can only be counted on for that specific diameter of material, and if a different diameter is used that size material should be chucked up and concentricity checked and adjusted if needed.

[@Bartimus224]

yeah I made a custom block out of a 4x4 with a radius for my chuck on top and 2 v's for the ways on the bottom, it's such a godsend trying to set up my 4 jaw

An old three jaw actually does make a really nice vise when mounted to a work table. Very handy for holding larger round parts. In my opinion about the only use for a non adjustable 3 jaw is as a boat anchor. I was trained during my apprenticeship to do everything in a four jaw.

[@Tullerion]

Thos was insanely satisfying to watch, I would love tonsee a whole series of Adam taking stuff appart, cleaning it and making it perfect again!

[@strykerjones8842]

Hate to disappoint you but that cleaning wasn’t perfect. The way the jaw moved and sounded when he tested it in the spiral was not good. Those components should be stoned to deburr them, the outside of the jaws and the face should be done as well. Needing to hammer a jaw into place is not a correct fit.

[@strykerjones8842]

The chuck should be tightened on the spindle nose like a tire is mounted. Tighten them in 180 opposing pairs. The D1-6 spindle taper is where the accuracy and repeatability comes from, if the chuck isn’t seated parallel it will cause problems.

[@clehrich]

@Tullerion Check out Stefan Gotteswinter searching the term "teardown" -- he's definitely not as charismatic or charming as Adam, but he's a terrific machinist, and his teardown, clean, reassemble, perfection routine is amazingly satisfying.

[@1MysteryZ1967]

Our guitarists grandfather lost a fingertip on the lathe at his job. He was a tool and dye maker at Detroit Trenton Channel Power Plant for 48 years. They have a plaque dedicated to him, there, because he would be on call for power outages (they didn’t have the storage space to keep the larger tools, so they would melt them back down) and he was the only one who could make the tools they needed to make the repairs. It’s an old coal fire power plant. They called him Dan “The Man” Markley. He’s been dead a long time now, but your story reminded our guitarist of him, so thanks for that. Well done, Adam! 🍻

ha ha - well a 2 jaw chuck "could be a vise" - yes still workholding - most definitely a clamp - I think that encompasses all these variations and specialisations.

[@mpetersen6]

When I was still working I took an old 3 jaw about 15" in diameter eter, built a mounting bracket for it. And then mounted it to a steel work table. I was constantly working on the end walls for large centrifuges. Worked really handy for doing inspection work, removing bearing races etc.

[@aboyd656]

Are you sure that zerk fitting is for grease? Often times in machine tools it is for oil. Oil seems like a better choice for a chuck as it won't attract swarf as bad.

[@superdigital.]

Grease is best, Oil would sling out of the chuck body far more easily. No matter what chips will still get in the body. It mostly depends on the body design how much gets in.

[@PracticalPrimate]

Mine are certainly for oil but know chucks some specify grease.

[@Mistakeful_Learning]

Something that I made for my lathe, and that you could make in under an hour, is a lathe cradle. I took a 4x4 and cut a curve to match loosely the diameter of the chucks and also a register on the base that matches the ways of the lathe. That way when I remove/install a chuck it holds it close to the installed position so that I don’t accidentally drop it an dent the ways. Always enjoy your builds. Keep up the great content.

They are fun, informative, uplifting, thought provoking, and inspirational! With that said: In my many years of working around equipment, one thing I have learned .......safety precautions ARE NOT ONLY about protecting the individual from harm but also protecting others from the results an accident/injury can have. For example, lost time, the fact that the people working with the injured have to pick up the slack and ALSO do their work, the emotional trauma seeing someone get hurt, the cost of our insurance for individuals and for the institution, and the list could go on. I worked in a place once that if it was determined you failed to use safety guidelines you could be fired whether you got hurt or not. They even gave a bonus to employees who created additional useful safety hints/guidelines/ measures. I shutter when I hear people say something like, “Look I know I should do this but I just don’t .......I get it”.My reply is” IT ISN’T ALWAYS ABOUT YOU...........” Adam talks about taking care of each other and being kind. Being safe, setting examples of safety is a form of taking care and being kind to each other. As I said so many people depend on Adam, I am sure we all want to enjoy the KZbin productions for years to come.

[@coyotetrickster5758]

@@fredbrooks1386 It is funny, Adam would probably be the first person to tell someone that they should wear, and what gear is comfortable, but is also someone who forgets to put on the gear.

An hour later I asked myself, “Why didn’t I hook up the exhaust?” I felt like a hypocrite. What the heck it is being hypocritical! I know he is a planner and thinks out procedures and steps to complete a project. What about a short safety briefing before he starts. Now I ask myself ,do I do a safety briefing before I start? Sometimes. He has an ongoing thought process concerning safety when using the table saw!! Thanks so much for listening. I do enjoy his entire Cave process!

[@Steelcrafted]

Great vid, just wanna say that even though it's a set-tru or adjust-tru chuck, you should still use best practice and turn the registration surface on the back plate in place on your lathe, so the registration surface has zero runout relative to your spindle bearings... That way you get the most effective range of adjustment from your adjusting screws.....as you said, the spindle taper on the back plate was abused, you can remove that error by doing a skim cut on the registration surface with the back plate mounted in place...

[@BatttySA]

It is so nice to see that the table is being used, it is a beautiful table.

Thanks, Adam. I really enjoy watching people deal with a variety of issues with experience. It hardly matters what the specific work is. It's good to watch people who are good at what they do. In a change of subject, I'd like to see a tool tip about your pin nailer, since it seems that every time you use it, you comment on how great it is. I can't see the brand name, but I have just ordered a Porter-Cable pin nailer (used) and I hope it works out well. If not, I'd like to be as happy with its replacement as you are with your pin nailer. Thanks again for giving us these various vids on such a variety of subjects.

Man oh man I love me some shop tools! WARNING: mixing oil and grease like you did can cause a reaction between incompatible components in each lubricant which can neutralize the lubrication and degrade its performance. I have seen grease turned to the consistency of parmesan cheese because of this.

[@ErikEkedahl]

additional point, grease is more likely to capture swarf and dust which causes issues in precision metalwork, you want to stick to oil because as you use it, and refill it, it will wash any captured swarf/dust out of the components (so oil seeping out and constantly needing to be refilled is an intended feature). Those "Grease Zerks" are also used for oil using your standard oil can, just hold the tip against the ball at the end to put oil in.

great video Adam, but if i may make a few surjections. i would use a 1/10th indicator you want to use the 10-1 rule for measuring that accurate. also depending on your indicator and brand you could have cosine error that can throw your measurement out. and lastly i would check to make sure your tailstock is within centre to your chuck now with either a test bar or test cuts.

[@111smd]

1. yes that space in the scroll plate is where you need to install the pinion (if you try to assemble a chuck every part should just slide together no hammer) 2. they make grease specifically for chucks 3. Zerk fitting are cheap replace them when ever you remove them (240 for $40 on amazon that's 6 cents apiece)

[@MrShwankfelder]

I would kill to see Adam’s watched items list on eBay. Like it has to be glorious.

[@benjo233223]

Grease will pick up chips and make a grinding paste. Oil would be better

[@cadewey6181]

WAY oil to be exact. Many Bridgeports are covered with swarf (abrasive stuff) collecting grease rather than way oil.

[@PilotPlater]

Someone down the road will have to put one of these together with no idea how, this video will be amazing Adam

[@shoukosvision5847]

I really enjoy watching your one day builds

[@crossbowhunter9118]

I recommend doing that exact same thing to your kurt vises that you have complete tear down and clean and out it back together. Every so often it will make your vise work like new if you do it the screw part that is attached to the movable part don’t nick the threads up it is a special thread can’t find the die for that thread it is a backwards thread as well but it is pretty easy just a lock ring holds in the part you turn

[@ramosel]

Adam, look for the Univer-co grease gun nozzle. It’s Canadian made and has a very small diameter for getting into tight locations.

[@brandonrodgers2479]

Little did I know I was going to learn how a chuck worked today! Lol thanks adam

[@jabella78]

All that slapping and excitement... should this video be rated R??

[@seekersofrhythm]

nice chuck chuck, have you noticed how many times you use isity (as in spcificity ) just noticed. I really enjoy your one days.best wishes and stay safe J.

[@brianterrill9587]

@22:28 you could probably make a prefit jig for that to test the alignments before putting the head on the lathe.

[@MrCsheller]

Internet: Wow, cool 6 jaw chuck! What are you going to turn with it? Probably Adam: I dunno, probably Delrin.

[@thegreenxeno9430]

OMG, you even customize yy\our lathe chuck. This is madness!

[@robrussell5911]

Great video, I’m green with envy. I’ve been wanting a six jaw chuck for a long time. I have to spring for one someday soon.

[@cordial001]

I love love LOVE getting new tools.

[@robmurg]

Good idea to use high-fibre grease, it will keep your chuck nice and regular in service.

[@darrelsartin4355]

Suggest you make a wooden cradle to ride on the ways of the lathe and hold the chuck in position for install/removal of the chuck and prevent damage to the ways in case of slippage or dropping the chuck.

[@jeroenow8215]

this is like, One Day Build combined with a restoration video. AMAAAAAZING :D

[@keithmcdaniels1632]

Awesome 8 ball tool post handle... It makes the lathe!

[@varmint243davev7]

you will never be sorry you got yourself that chuck

[@yuricorrea2491]

When they say "a lathe is a tool that can build itself" they mean that you buy so many upgrades to it that in the end you have all the spare parts to build another one, right?

[@TheEvertw]

I always wondered about that! -- But then I found D.J. Gingery has a nice description of how a lathe can bootstrap itself by first configuring it as a horizontal boring machine, to bore its head and tail stocks.

[@mpetersen6]

A lathe can never really be used to build a true copy of itself. A smaller version sure. All or most of the major mechanical components, but the structural parts, bed, ways etc no. 45 + years of turning solid metal into little curly cues. There is a lot you can do on a lathe. But sometimes I gets pretty cumbersome. Using the slides with a third slide mounted vertically on the cross slide gives you a boring mill, sort off. The problem comes in that the ways on the bed of a lathe are designed to take forces in a different direction.

[@TheEvertw]

@@mpetersen6 In order to make a rudimentary lathe, you only need to be able to cast metal, file and scrape it flat, and have a lathe for the round / concentric bits. Of course, having a mill / shaper greatly helps in making the linear shapes, and a surface grinder in quickly getting to the required precision. For gears you obviously need a mill or milling attachment. But it is possible to build a perfectly functional lathe without any machine tool but a lathe. And using said lathe and manual tools, one can build any other machine tool.

[@mpetersen6]

@@TheEvertw Believe me, I've pushed a far amount of chips with scrapers. Both flat and bearing. Of course to do the castings you need wood to carve the patterns. Tools to carve with. Like the man said, first you need to make the tools to make the tools etc, etc. And to think it all started with a rock cracked to get a sharp edge.

[@TheEvertw]

​@@mpetersen6 I got where you are coming from ;-) I am fascinated by the history of machine tools, how new developments were used to build upon what already was. The Lathe is probably the oldest machine tool, used with stone chisels to make round things, or in its horizontal form to shape pots. Perhaps some type of drill preceded it, but those don't count ;-)

[@1ts3asy]

The real Harrison Wells! I love this guy!

[@jude4896]

Rock on Adam! You delivered your joy and happiness. Hope you have a good 2021 and happy new year. Thank you for sharing. I get just as excited with new bits of kit.

[@ОстрыйТесак-ь5ш]

I installed a collet clamp on my lathe, it is much more accurate than a conventional planetary chuck and the runout is zero💪😯
