I have locked the spindle so no gears are engaged. Ive removed the Chuck before so I know which wat of has to come pdf.
OK, it just seems to me that if you're lifting the end of the wood that is pointing down that it's tightening the chuck. Or at least it would be on my lathe.I have locked the spindle so no gears are engaged. Ive removed the Chuck before so I know which wat of has to come pdf.
I agree with DavidR8 that you are probably further tightening it based on your photo. Most chucks I've seen in my limited experience tighten against the direction of the cutting tool. Otherwise, the tool's cutting action would tend to unscrew the chuck when heavy cuts are taken. Hope that's it.OK, it just seems to me that if you're lifting the end of the wood that is pointing down that it's tightening the chuck. Or at least it would be on my lathe.
I don't think it is reversed, I just think it is being tightened. If it is lifting from the side the pictures were taken, it is tightening the chuck. The side that the apron controls are on should be going down while the spindle is locked. With the spindle locked and the plate being turned the way it would into a tool, the back plate or face plate should break free of the spindle.Wait... if the spindle is reverse threaded (as I expect it is...) and you're lifting the lathe in this configuration then it seems to me that you're further tightening the chuck.
I had a 5" chuck well stuck on my South Bend and I had to spin the chuck backwards to break it loose.
I'll try this tomorrow but i done have high holes as the 6 foot cheater bar didnt work..
I can remember when this Acetone and ATF started being talked about and it is rubbish. The original recipe was 50/50 ATF and Kerosene. AFT and Acetone don't mix.acetone and ATF fluid (1:1 ratio, and it does not have a good shelf-life).
The amount of heat needed to get meaningful expansion can be quite considerable.
