Well it seems like every thing about this chuck is out. .008" out on the face, .011" out on the diameter, and today after cleaning the jaws ways it's .008" out at the jaws. So....
And yes, the back of the chuck wobbles too. But seeing as how I don't ever use that side of the chuck, I don't care. This is like an "in case of emergency break glass" type of chuck. Lol Or then again, it may be a "put it back in the scrap bucket" type of chuck ". I'm not certain either way yet. But I am kind of enjoying myself so far. That was kind of the point. Rest assured, I've abandoned the shenanigans of my early days. I ask many questions about presumably simple things now, to avoid wrecking something else. Other than a zamak gear and this chuck, I've not ruined anything else. Lolor try indicating in the backing plate).

Having regard for the wobble is not about whether one ever uses the back of the chuck. It is about appreciating what it is telling you!And yes, the back of the chuck wobbles too. But seeing as how I don't ever use that side of the chuck, I don't care.
I think you're right. Except that there isn't a backplate. And I have firsthand knowledge of incredible forces, temperatures, impacts, and twisting moments being applied to this chuck. LolStart with the backplate
20 minutes? Lol oh and the cost of a tool post grinder for something I literally dug out of my own trash pile.. whats to loose.?
