Learning to dial in a 4-jaw

Being it's a slow night in here …………………….Dave , check out Will's mag chuck ( if he'll post a pic of it ) . These are cool pieces if you could use them . I used them all the time on our cylindrical grinders without an issue . On a lathe , you may have to be gentile with them , but they are useful none the less .

Some more of your $$$$$ we're helping you spend ! :grin:

WAIT!!! Before you buy a mag chuck, buy a milling machine! You know, the thing that you don't have room for? If we're going to spend your money let's get serious about it. You see, a mag chuck is a want; a mill is a NEED!!!!!
 
My bad . I had assumed we had him sold on the mill already . I jumped the gun . :sorry: Dave ! Buy that mill ………………………….then get that mag chuck . :cheer:

As Mike says, a mag chuck for the lathe is definitey a luxury item, can live without even. Mill definitely comes first as well as getting it tooled up.

So I'll just post a link. Up to David if if he want's to make the mistake of looking at it. :D

Yuasa Round Magnetic Chuck for Lathe

Some of this is from the other thread here. Mainly adding to my archive. Got a 6.3" Yuasa round magnetic chuck a while back to use on the lathe. Mainly to work on thin parts & machine parts flat (parallel on both sides). Not meant to take heavy cuts (think surface grinder), just light skimming...

And don't go clicking on other threads in my projects section. They're pic heavy which is intentional for the purpose of temptation.

:laughing:
