Hello!
I recently bought my first lathe, an 800 series Logan. It came with what probably is the original 3-jaw chuck. I noticed that the jaws of the chuck don't hold parts along the full length of the jaws, only the back end of the jaws actually touch the part. This is of course is affecting rigidity.
I removed the jaws and cleaned them and re-lubed the scroll, but that didn't help. Any idea if this can be fixed, or should I start shopping for a new chuck?
Thanks!
