Hello, steemies!
For this post, I present another episode of Mini Lathe Amateur. In this episode, I talk about the new lathe chuck that I just recently bought. I've been wanting to get a larger chuck for the lathe, but they've been out of stock where I buy most of my lathe stuff since last spring. They finally got their shipment and had them available on their website, so I bought one.
The lathe comes with a 3 inch chuck when you buy it, but a 3 inch chuck is not large enough to hold the size of raw stock that I would need for some of the projects that I want to do. The 4 inch chuck will hold larger diameter material, which makes it easier to make a few things.
The 4 inch lathe chuck needs an adapter to be able to be mounted on the spindle of my small 7X10 lathe, and this chuck comes with the adapter from the supplier. Also, the adapter has already been mounted on the chuck, so that's one less step that I need to do. I will have to check the chuck for runout once it's mounted on the lathe. The chuck should be centered on the spindle as close as possible, this helps with getting precision results when turning parts. on the lathe.
Here is the video of mini lathe amateur, episode 11.
