Stubby keys for Dialing in 4 Jaw

[rwm]

Make the knurls RED so you don't leave them in the chuck prior to hitting the "ON" switch. Might be easy to forget the one on the backside - out-of-sightut-of-mind. Very nice work. zuhnc

Where will I store my keys then???

I made a similar set for my 4 jaw. I found it very laborious. I now use just 1 chuck key with a dial indicator, much quicker. But if it works for you good.

Good lookin" keys but I don't think the knobs will have the leverage required. My T's are about 5 inches and I wish they were bigger but they would be too close to the head stock if larger than that.

Very nice work rwm. I bet that they will work out fine for you.

This key is gonna be perfect. I can move the jaw easily with plenty of clearance on the far side. I then use the regular key to final tighten.
