They would work best when machining a step in the jaws, the ring is placed as far towards the head stock as possible, the chuck tightened and then the accessible portion of the jaws machined to run true (and probably fit a specific work piece) Jay |

Pick the ring closest to the current internal diameter at the rear of the jaws. Clamp the jaws down on the ring. Bore jaws to suit job. Remove ring. Clamp jaws on the job. Turn! I leave it to you to determine how to add an additional procedure if the job diameter needs to pass through the chuck jaws. -- Richard Email address is valid but remove burrs before sending! |

Better to put three pins in the c`bore of the holding screws and grip the ring inside these for internal boring.You then bore the jaws through the hole in the ring. That particular set is not much use as the centre hole is too small.There are people who sell the proper sets though for about $300,or you can buy a tool which has three pins on a scroll so adjusts to what ever size you need within its range. |

Cool tool! That how I thought they were used, usless for what I want. The hard jaws of the universal chuck for the Graziano lathe had been re-bored by a former employee (who didn't know that the chuck could be adjusted) and is off by .0015 . Clamp long ground rod in it and it wobbles unevenly, one way at the chuck and the other further out. I would like to straighten it out, and dont have access to a decent tool post grinder. Clamping some 1/4 inch aluminum bars between the angles on the jaws and boring didn't improve it. Any tips would be appreciated. This is a low buck, small production shop. -- Stupendous Man, Defender of Freedom, Advocate of Liberty |
