I am getting a bit fed up now.
I have 3 chucks 2 axminster super precision chucks and a versachuck (exactly the same design as the axminsters but takes other makes of jaws) I have purchased the backplates to fit these chucks to suit the 3520b spindle fitted them and found that the chucks themselves appear to run true but when fitted with a set of jaws the jaws don't. I have messed about with the back plates andI thought I had sorted the issue but got distracted with a spindle order so haven't been using the chucks but today put a lump on to find it running out I cant understand what is going on but its really frustrating.
I have cleaned the jaws and chucks re tightened all the grub screws tried different jaws on different chucks and yet still things seem not to be running right I dont remember this happening on the cl3 and the VB is fine I just dont know what to do next
Any ideas would be welcome at this point I really dont think its the spindle like I say without the jaws the chuck runs fine but it seems so temperamental.
Has anyone had this kind of problem before would a new chuck with a direct thread be the answer its expensive but if its the only option I guess I will have to bite the bullet
Help!!!
