So the levelling is coming along nicely. Now I would like to strip my 3
jaw chuck for cleaning and Google wasn't much help. Is this something I
should be doing or are there hidden problems? How to I remove the
cam-lock plate from the back of the chuck?
Thanks again
Stuart



If you don't HAVE to remove it, and it's running true---leave it alone.

I see your point and if the scroll looked clean I would happily leave it
alone. But it doesn't look very clean in there. If the good people in here
think I should just do a cleaning job through the jaw slots then I'll do
that. But what I don't want to happen is in 12 months to have in not
running true and be told "you should have cleaned it properly 12 months a
go"


Go for it. It'll be good for the chuck and you'll gain knowledge.
