OneWay Talon Chuck
I just bought a OneWay talon chuck. The instructions say the adapter
should have a gap of from .02 to .05 from the chuck. I have the screws as tight as I can get them and I have 1/8 of an inch. Is this OK or am I doing something wrong? |

They are great folks to deal with and will help solve all problems with their tools. I have ordered another Talon body so I don't have to change jaws all the time. I use it most of the time and I have a Vicmarc 120 and Supernova2, but live the Talon. Vernon |

If the gap is uniform around the chuck/adapter interface and it runs true on the spindle it probably isn't a problem. Did you check for any foreign material before you assembled it. I have 2 Talons and the adapters have according to my highly accurate, trained eyeball about .05" space which is just under 1/16". Did you try disassembling and reassembling? In case you don't know, after removing the screws, you jack the adapter out of the chuck by putting 2 of the screws into the threaded holes in the adapter and evenly tightening them to pull the adapter out. By all means call Oneway if you are concerned. billh |
