Adjustable tail stock chuck....things learned in this section of H-M

[David S]

Hi RJ, I was concerned that I couldn't adjust for pitch or yaw, hence my attention to keeping things as parallel as I could. It would have meant shims somewhere on the flanges. fortunately I don't have to drill very deep, so it should be ok.

Thank you to you and Dave for your comments. This was fun.

I had made another one with a straight shank for use on the mill. Back then I was doing a lot of sub-mm work and was concerned about tool breakage. I added an adjustment for angular runout on that one. I thinkl I had drawn that one up in AutoCad. If I can find it, I'll post it if you're interested.

By all means you can add anything that is pertinent to this thread.

I found the drawing and it is the first one with just the radial adjustment similar to what you have done so not much to add to what you have done.
