The carrier i made works pretty well. I set the track so i can use it for
both the lathe and mill, made a chuck carrier from an old sterring rack, the
rack teeth allow the lifting washer to engage wherever it balances best with
no slippage.

Here is a job I am doing using a 9 inch face mill for some timing covers.

fun stuff

Pretty nifty. I like the idea of the notches to allow balancing the
chuck. I have long wanted to do something similar but the fear of
some s**t for brains student deciding to see what would happen if you
loosen the chuck in mid air has kept me from acting on the idea.
