the chuck have backplate with 4 screws fit from the front of the chuck to hold the plate on the back. I already started taking all my lathe in a parts and the cleaning will start today!
here is a pic of my chuck. it's South bend brand, made in USA.
I got back from the grinding company, the guy was very nice and he explained to me different methods on how to refinish bed.
he said that I can use the Bridgeport mill (or equivalent milling machine) to grind the bed and the ways..
I asked him if I will need scrape it or plane it just because it's soft bed, and he said; no you can grind it and her said he can do it for me but the cost will be around $1500.00
so the milling is another way I can use!
now the problem is that there is nobody in my state that I know or these people may know can do scraping or planer! so the last two options is 1- use my friend mill or buy the tools and start practicing to do the scraping myself .
handle with carbide blade cost $100
SANDVIK COROMANT 620-30 CLAMP-ON SCRAPER Plus 10 Free 620-2530 carbide insert
