I forgot to explain what the issue was with these chuck jaws; They were not ground parallel to the centerline axis. So it was posable to indicate a workpiece concentric, but it would orbit that indicate spot like an hourglass.
Gday Dean, definitely a win, it may have been easier and cheaper to buy another chuck but then you wouldn’t of had the opportunity to learn what you have, you did a great job mate, cheers
I admire your tenacity in sticking with this - you learned plenty and that's a huge deal. Personally I have given up on the cheapo chucks at this point because it's too much effort to fix them, detracting from the jobs I want to do with what little time I can get in the shop. That said - just goes to show what you can do if you put your mind to it. Great work!
Dean, what do you think about the difference between jaws in compression vs in extension for grinding? I ask because it is going to be high on my list, once I find someplace to unpack my shop...
Yeah compression is the way to go, but not easy to setup. I did it on one with 2-peice jaws using longer outer bolts to catch the tensioning ring. Robin Renzetti has a real good video on using a bearing race and a hard turned engagement slot. I did think about using a carbide drill to put some pin bores in the jaws to engage a compression ring. The rabbit hole was just getting too deep.. Great comment Thanks!
Buying a new chuck is not going to teach you anything . Doing will improve your skills on your hobby . I use to hate boss who would say I can't give that job to the apprentice he will only fuck it up ! How will he learn ! Kit from down under

Sorted . Great result . Being a new chuck , you got away with the jaws preloaded the way . Cheers 👍
Thanks Max !

Thanks Matty, and having fun with shop toys 👍
Good job on getting the taper out of the jaws. Thanks for sharing Dean.
Thanks Randy !
The Hung Pow chuck lives to fight another day. Good job!
Bruce Lee would approve 💪💪

Thanks Stuart, it was a free chuck that came with the lathe. Yeah I've learned my lesson on the cheep stuff too.
Free is a pretty darn good price though. 😆
Another great and helpful video. I have a new-to-me 4 jaw I’m evaluating now.
I would call that a win too. Very nice result.
This was an interesting "go for it" project.
Thanks Rusty, it was a long road but got there in the end.
I have to do my three jaw. Lately I've been thinking or just buying a new one. Thanks for the inspiration Dean.
Thanks Randy, yeah the 3-jaws are easier to do, go for it 👍
enjoyed….nice discussion and work
Thanks Chuck !
Great job Dean!
Thanks Phil !
Great job on grinding the jaws. Getting to half a thousand is amazing. Cheers Nobby
Thanks Nobby, Yeah the main issue was the bell-mouthing.

Thanks Kit, this was great confidence builder. I might even take on building from scratch a D1-4 backplate for a another chuck in need.
Cheers...
