Stripping and cleaning an old 3 jaw scroll chuck.

Short video to show cleaning and reassembly of a 3 jaw scroll chuck.
Its an old unit - possibly from the 1950's - and was quite stiff to operate.
After a thorough clean, its back in excellent working condition.

Yes I put a drain cock in my parts cleaner with a filter to recycle the fluid a coupler time before replacing.

Now that is a good idea. Tipping the tub over to pour the degreaser (Kenco) out is a dodgy business. I used to use the pump to eject most of it but the flow through brush has made that unworkable. I haven't bothered with a filter as I find that a lot of the crud settles out of the drained degreaser in a day or so. Then I just pour most of it back without disturbing the sediment.
A drain cock has just gone on the todo list :)
Cheers, Alan.
