Hi All
Well I got the two face plates and that makes three of them I have.
John Gland has asked for one and Dave Kirk has asked for one. Is
there anyone ells that would like the last one???
Also as I put the Dalton thread in these I am doing two other chuck
back plates. On for Ron's face plate and one for Dave Kirks new
chuck.
If anyone is in need of a new back plate for a chuck installation
get it to me and I will put the threads in it. Once I have the
lathe set up to cut the threads it only takes me about a 30 to 40
minuts to cut the thread and the registration shoulder so I would
like to do them all at the same time. This would be the 1 1/4 - 12
Lot 2 3 4 5 spindle thread.
I do have a brand new 1 1/4 - 12 tap but Dalton did not use the
standard thread pattern and as such the adapter plates I have used
this tap on run oversize more than I like. Would be OK for a face
plate or a dog drive plate but I don't like this lose a thread for a
chuck.
I also need to post this to the Dalton email group list I have
because I don't thing we have every one in the gang on the user
group yet.
Take care and let me know if I can help with adapter plates for new
chucks.
