Ah, but this is the cheapo Dunlop model. The chuck does not thread
on. It merely bolts to a faceplate that is welded(?) to the main
shaft. That plate itself is not square.

Thanks anyway,

What is the best way to fix this?

Make sure the chuck's backplate threads are clean. Run a bent nail or similar
in them to clean them out.

The chuck's backplate must thread all the way onto the spindle so that it's
face "registers" completely against the corresponding face on the front of the
shaft (spindle). You must have this full contact for the chuck to run true.

For one thing.
