The key that came with my four jaw chuck is pretty miserable. It was not a problem until I decided it was time to actually use the chuck.
I decided to reuse the cross bar, but make a whole new key. I decided a brass cap would look nice to cover the hold created for the detent ball and spring. Using the tap and die guides I built earlier was a real pleasure.
I am finding that as I finally get tooling sorted out that I can actually finish small projects instead of getting lost in projects-I-need-to-finish-before-I-can-start-this-project.
I am starting to enjoy this.
