I have an 8 inch 3 jaw scroll chuck (made in Poland) on my enco 1340
bench lathe. The Chuck keeps on jamming due to small brass chips that
accumulate in the scrolls. I have to dis-assemble the chuck to clear
out the chips. I do not use any lube/oil in my work. is there a trick
to keep them out ?. most of the lathes work is drilling through holes
in 12 inch long x 1.25 inch Hex stock.

TIA
