I have a 6" independent 4-jaw chuck on my Atlas TH54 lathe. Other night I was about to dial in a stud for threading and the (jaw) screw stripped its thread. On a closer look, the threads in the chuck body are just plain worn out. I knew they were worn, but not that bad (or so I thought). Well, its jaws were already bell-mouthed and needed ground anyway, so it's probably time for a replacement. It has served well in its many years! So is there any hope for the old chuck? Can it be refurbed into something else useful? I hate to just scrap it out...
Thanks!
