Your wife is a treasure! Keep her! Bill in OKC William R. Meyers, MSgt, USAF(Ret.) A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building,

Why the obsession with TIR? Don't you just turn something and it is round regardless of TIR? It might not be centered on your piece but it will be round. Of course I am new to all of this. Ralph

I'd go crazy if my wife ever tried to clean up my shop.

Yes, except that measuring it 4” from the jaws could introduce the effects of some other variables that may or may not have anything to do with the chuck. Chuck runout figures should be taken next

When I was working, a fellow engineer received some custom mold cavities for final approval. Left them on the floor by the wall to go home. Cleaning crew trashed them that night never to be seen

Wow, that’s amazingly great luck. Good for you. My lathe is currently in pieces on my work bench in All of the major components. Over the weekend I did some more shop clean-up and finally got all of

John The most amazing thing happened yesterday. I showed my wife a photo of the milling attachment for the 618 with the jaw plates to my wife. She said. "Oh, I thought they might be important when I

Your results are quite good, to be sure!. I suggest measuring a few different diameters and distances from the jaw tips. From right at the tips and at least 6 inches out. Assuming you’re using a

That is what I’ve done on all my Asian chucks. I periodically check them but have never had an issue with runout. James

Tim, thanks for the input.? For some reason I've always been a little shy of Shars but it seems the quality is pretty good.? I have noticed the sell a TIR of 0.003" line and then a TIR 0.0012"

I purchased a couple of used 3-jaws from EBay over the past few years. They have been okay. One was pretty tight but others are now in the corner or on some fixture. The new Asian chucks have been

Thank you very much John. I will check with them. Jay Greer Yacht Design

Any thought to using a treadmill motor or similar AC/DC motor Loads of torque. I picked one up with the control board at the local scrapper. The pulleys take up a lot of space.

Good Morning, so the lathe I am putting together did not come with the original counter shaft assembly. The previous owner tried to make a motor mount / counter shaft assembly and jerry rigged

I made mine 25 or so years ago and do odd jobs almost weekly on the lathe with no problems. Dallas

Couple little case-hardened plates for the milling vise. In a pinch I expect could do without the case hardening. 2.5x7/8x0.25" and the same but 3/8 thick with crossed vee grooves for round stock.

Oh that stinks.? I lost my set screw on the threaded collar at the back of the lathe spindle.? I saw it fall and cant find it anywhere.Looks like your milling attachment is useless now, so I could
