Newbie needs help with Logan 200 spindle runout

Supertroye, I think I still have the spacer I turned for mine. If you want, I'll send it to you. I'm traveling for work so it would be a few days before I could get to it. PM me if you're interested.
 
Sorry I haven't written much. I'm in Texas teaching a class... No time to read or write. Have to go now. Class ends tomorrow and then I'm driving home over 3 days....The old pro's on here have you under control. I am glad to see your scraped off the paint. I agree don't cut the spinde. Ruin something good to make a chuck fit is not cool. The low grade bearings too....you can't expect perfect or make a silk purse out of a sows ear.

Thanks for checking in... I think at this point I can handle the backplace on the small Bison chuck, but at this point I still need to enlarge the register on the Buck/Logan chuck. I think I may see if my local machine shop can do that one. Many thanks to all who have written and helped...
 
JR49, you are so right, a spacer with parallel faces is necessary between the spindle and the backing plate when it is mounted backwards on the spindle. I simply forgot to include it in the instructions, thanks for pointing it out!
