I got one of those, not even home made. And I never really knew what it was used for. Thought it was a cheap alternative for a 4 jaw chuck. Thanks for showing.
With only one place for adjustment (4 jaw chuck) you can only zero one position along the length of the work. Using two points of adjustment you can zero both close to the chuck and farther away. Try it. :)
I have only seen them in watchmaking (i think they call it bell chuck), never on such a large scale, thanks for showing that.
Good one Kevin. I just used this method on a long shaft. Thank Enjoyed.
Thanks, Randy!
It's not all that common and I was hoping it might help someone new to the game.

Cool trick.
what with your 150$ 4 jaw chuck? Is it any good? You not using it?
Thx, that's interesting! Couldn't you just use 4 jaw chuck and indicate the pin only (since you only care about the bore)?
