45 years as a journeyman machinist . Show me your self centering chuck please because this is a mythical creature . A self centering chuck would indicate to me that it would after chucking part you could hit a magic button to center to true your work piece . I've never seen one to this day , but if you come up with one , I'm in . There are 2 types of chucks . A set true and a regular scroll chuck . They both can be dialed in to zero TIR . They both need to be adjusted by the operator using the lathe . A " self centering " doesn't exist that I know of to this point . If it does , show it to me/us and we'll all buy a few !
