I just bought a OneWay talon chuck. The instructions say the adapter
should have a gap of from .02 to .05 from the chuck. I have the screws
as tight as I can get them and I have 1/8 of an inch.

Is this OK or am I doing something wrong?

If the gap is uniform around the chuck/adapter interface and it runs true on
the spindle it probably isn't a problem. Did you check for any foreign
material before you assembled it.

I have 2 Talons and the adapters have according to my highly accurate,
trained eyeball about .05" space which is just under 1/16".

Did you try disassembling and reassembling? In case you don't know, after
removing the screws, you jack the adapter out of the chuck by putting 2 of
the screws into the threaded holes in the adapter and evenly tightening them
to pull the adapter out.

By all means call Oneway if you are concerned.

Just to make this a little longer, you also want to tighten each screw a little
at a time to help draw the adapter into the chuck as square as possible..
