It is always a good day when you can keep the dinosaurs out from behind your chuck. 👍

Recycling the way to go Rustinox. Just use the smaller diameter register on the back or the chuck, turn the larger one down to the same size. That may, hopefully prevent the chuck body distorting when you tighten the mounting bolts. Cheers Tony

Thanks for your videos. I don’t have plates lying around so what I did to get a cast iron plate was to machine a cheap $20CAD barbell from the supermarket’s website. I order it along with my groceries….

Like you say, even if the jaw screws aren't any freer moving at least there is less chance of getting junk into the space between the chuck and the back plate now. Still interesting to watch and see your thought process.

@Rustinox

Well, at least it's better than it was before.

Hi Michel, a very logical piece to make which must give greater support for the chuck. Do you think the chuck components might need some fettling to get them to work better? It's always enjoyable to watch you making things, so that's another win!! Have a great weekend!!

I think front fixing chucks (like you have there) are good. Back fixing may look neater but front fixing makes things easier when fixing to a rotary table (for example). From the chips, that spacing ring looks like nice material. Cheers

Nice work och fine entertainment video, as usual. I hung a 5" chuck on my 4" lathe. The power control strugles with off/on start. Starting from zero and ramping up the speed is preferred, but it works.

Hi Rusti. Great job on the spacer piece. I wonder if a paper gasket on the spacer might relieve the clamp on the outer part and maybe reduce the distortion. You could try it as a test. If it helped maybe you could try a very light skim on the outer surface? I'm sure you could get it just a bit better. That said, it works well enough as is. All the best, Mart.

Hi Michel ☺, well you filled the gap ok, that's solved one problem, and I guess the tightness in the jaws will loosen off in time, if you haven't already lubed them then that might help. Thanks for the video mate, stay safe, enjoy your wkend, best wishe's to all, Stuart Uk.

Dear Michel, A tip that was given to me is to clone your 4 jaw chuck key. By moving two opposing jaws simultaneously a considerable time saving is achieved when truing an item in the four jaw chuck.

I like how you make use of things lying around to improve the other things lying around. Perhaps the back plate is not a close enough fit to resist deformation.

G'day Rusty. Excellent job with the various sections of machining & fitting. Just wondering if an extra .002" in the bolted centre section would make a bit of difference The clamping down is where the distortion is occurring. Or maybe the side locating lugs need squaring off to stop possible internal corner bottoming ?

I think so too.

Just wondering..... Could the four round pins inserted from the rear that are the screw postioners be getting pushed deeper by the ring and that's where the drag is coming from? I wonder if the pins were bumped or pushed back by 0.02mm and then machined flush to the register surface maybe they would not push the screws forward into the jaw threads and bind? Doing what you did might have fixed part of the issue but they were tight already? Pulling the jaws out and looking at the "U" that locates the screws might show some signs of rubbing if this is the case.

@Rustinox

I think your problem is when. You turned down the back of the chuck now when you tighten it up it's pressing against the pins that holds the screws for the jows mark the pins and remove them and make them shorter it's going to be hard with the steps. good luck.JM

I'm trying to help you . if I'm wrong I'm just stupid but if your wrong you still have a problem . so i did the same thing i machined the back of a chuck. those pins need to be recessed a bit . quick check loosen up the bolts a bit and if it frees up try giving the pins some space . I think the pins are forcing the screw into the jaws Good luck .JM
