Hello guys, so I am new to machining, but have a passion for learning. This may be a total newb question, but I'll be the first to admit that I'm a newb.
I bought my first lathe a week ago, and have been learning on it every day since. I was trying to decide between a new grizzly g4000 or a 1938 SB 9"C. I went with the SB, based on the number still in operation, and the deal I received on it. Problem I am having is, the old 3 jaw chuck that came with it, seems pretty worn, and I am having a hard time keeping my work piece centered. Havr been looking in to by using a new 4 jaw 6", but cant seem to find any that would fit my 1-1/2" 8tpi spindle. Thoughts? Suggestions? Any would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! I have attached a pic of the lathe, just in case it helps.
