The only stats you can trust are the ones you falsify yourself.

If you really want to make your remaining time miserable, take a statistics course to understand the truth behind the old adage, "Figures don't lie, but liars can figure."

Keep on keeping on ;-)

Of course a "professional" installer freaks out when they hear this but they get paid to install them without the tension, fixed on both ends.

I have one that has was installed ten years ago with a floating end and still working fine.

I figured there was a simple answer to this.

Thank you!

Recently have started to use my little ole lathe. My machining background stems from “repair” as opposed to “fabricating” and so one of the first things I did was acquire a 4-jaw chuck.

After having the lathe for near 5 years now, I discovered the bore of the 3-jaw chuck is smaller than the lathe spindle opening.

I did not have a reason to notice this discrepancy before because I hardly ever used the 3-jaw chuck until lately for some repetitive work.

?

Is this something we just have to accept as an attribute of the machine, or is there a three jaw chuck available with a bore opening as large as the spindle opening?
