Re: Some days, you just mess up
Thanks , about the only thing I really don't like about cast iron is machining it , & well trying to weld it is a close 2nd . You have to be in a real good clean up mood before you start to machine .

Re: Some days, you just mess up
Hi Mike, It's an MLA A-11 cross slide but a little wider than the print because the casting cleaned up well before I was down the the size Andy specified.? I undercut the tail stock side of the table

Re: Some days, you just mess up
I finally got some idle shop time that allowed me to finish the last bits of the custom dovetail I've been working on for some time. The remaining work entailed cutting a slot all the way around the

Re: Allen key size for Craftsman 101 4 jaw chuck
I suggested a bit of quality time with a belt sander & 1/4" hex key.? Very few people make a hex key from scratch these days. :) Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) Aphorisms to live

Re: Allen key size for Craftsman 101 4 jaw chuck
I can NOT believe this thread grew this many legs. If SAE does not fit get metric allen wrenches. Hell for a metals forum no one is jumping in to MAKE your own! Weld on some metal to your SAE allen

Re: Allen key size for Craftsman 101 4 jaw chuck
I have a 6" Craftsman 4 jaw chuck that came on my South Bend 9" lathe, and it takes a metric hex key (Allen wrench) that isn't in most sets of Allen wrenches, maybe a 7mm if I remember right.? A 1/4"

I have confirmed with Harbor Freight that they do exchange broken allen sets for new if the old failed. Darn fine warranty! Jim

Re: Allen key size for Craftsman 101 4 jaw chuck
Then you probably need a 15/64th . Good luck finding one at the usual sources. I tried to find one online, and no joy.? You could try spending some quality time with a belt sander and a 1/4" hex key.

Re: Allen key size for Craftsman 101 4 jaw chuck
Metric might fit or might not. Has anybody considered that the chuck is worn out and it is no longer a "Standard" Allen size? ________________________________ Sent: Tuesday, August 1, 2023 9:26 PM To:

Re: Allen key size for Craftsman 101 4 jaw chuck
After that many years it is probably worn . I would take a 1/4" allen and a diamond file and make a tool that fits better. Dusty wrote:

Re: Allen key size for Craftsman 101 4 jaw chuck
The chuck is original to the lathe. It dates back to 1930 ish. It was my friends first lathe as a boy. He was 80 some when I got it. His allen wrench was 7/32". It feels loose. Marty

Re: Allen key size for Craftsman 101 4 jaw chuck
15/64 is the between one , I'd take the chuck to the store & see what fits . Isn't 1/4 " a bit small for a 6 " chuck ? My 4" 4 jaw takes a 1/4 , but the 5 & 6 take larger ones , I'm guessin their
