Re: Bad Chuck - Can it be Solved
Yes, I did indicate backing plate od. Right about .0034. I had to avoid marking dimple for alignment to chuck itself. This leads me to believe it's a jaw issue with huge jump in runout.

Re: Bad Chuck - Can it be Solved
Before you even take it apart, verify the the jaws are in the right slots (each jaw and each slot is numbered)
Also verify that each jaw was started sequentially at the right time when assembled.

Re: Bad Chuck - Can it be Solved
I found if you loosen the cap screws on the back and tap them sequentially with a brass hammer or even a ball peen hammer you can usually split the chuck.

First, disassemble the chuck, clean and lubricate it. Reassemble it making sure the chuck jaws go in the correct slots, and started at the correct times. Then try it again.? A really good

?Hi all,
I am in the process of rehabbing a 3995 lathe. It was free and maybe I now know why. The runout on the spindle inner and outer diameter is really good. Like .0013. Screw on the chuck

You can make your own scissor knurler, too. Except the knurls. Unless you need something special, in which case you can make them, too. Depends how deep down that rabbit hole you want to
