I'm excited to do my first unboxing and review of the new lathe chucks that we've got for the Woodstock International Lathe machine. I'll tell you what I've learned about them during shopping and show you how "surprising" they were when I finally unboxed them.
HOW TO CONVERT A CHUCK INTO SET-TRU • HOW TO MAKE YOUR CHUCK...
I don’t recommend six jaw chucks for almost anyone. Unless you’re constantly working tubing, you don’t need them. You can only put precision ground parts into a six jaw chuck. It seems that on RUclips, six jaw chucks appears to be a thing. Most high quality chucks are finish ground after fitting, but the dust should be removed before shipping.
I agree. There are lots of reasons not to use a 6 jaw chuck. I think in general for tool guys they have a certain appeal because they look cool for the most part. I ended up returning these chucks because I was so disappointed with a few little problems and they were so dirty inside. I bought the ones I needed from another brand, CME Tools and they have been excellent.
@@TigermothRacingTV I’m surprised though. Gator chucks have a good rep and they’re good mid to highish end products. Possibly the CI body chucks aren’t made to the standards their forged steel body models are.
I looked on Zoro's website for a 5" 6 jaw Gator chuck with the Tru-set feature you talked about and I couldn't locate anything. Maybe I misunderstood something you said.
They may not have all the different models available as set true. Also check out CME Tools. I have been very happy with their chucks.
Where is part 2!?
Yes we need to do a follow up. We actually ended up returning the Gator chucks and have been happier with CME chucks. I need to show that and point that out.
Hey, recently discovered your channel and have subbed! Wondering with your benchtop lathe mounted on the rolling tool cabinet whether it's stable and how you level etc? Would love to take this option for my lathe but had assumed that it was a no go because of the castors etc
Thank you for this question & subscribing! This queation is something that makes me chuckle when people bring up the subject of being stressed out about the lore of leveling and mounting machines. In the case of small lathes take a look at how Hardinge mounted their lathes to their machine bases. They bolted the lathe to the base with 3 spring loaded bolts and the lathe sat on 3 ball bearings. This gave 3 point support and put no bend/twist stress on the bed so no accuracy was lost but yet you could rock the machine back and forth a few degrees if you really pushed on it. You can simulate this any way you want. Often what I recommend is secure the machine to a bench/base/cart-whatever you want using the supplied holes in the casting so it can't fall over or move, but don't tighten them. Often you will see you get great long term accuracy this way. If you find inacuracy, you can always tighten different mounting bolts to bring the bed back into factory spec. I recommend not stressing over this. If it becomes the case where you need to make lots of long thin high tolerance parts, you will be buying a cnc or better machine anyway. I love this conversation because I watch so many people stress over the precision of a machine before they even know why or when they should be worried about it. Learn to run a lathe and start making stuff. Then if the need arises, you can always tweek in the machine to make it better. Small machines on carts and benches are fine. Most of the small machines sold during the industrial revolution were available on a rolling cart as an option from the factory because they were intended to be easily moved around the production floor as needed. The only reasons to level a small machine are for some setup conveniences and maybe coolant flow considerations. Not really accuracy that I can think of. Many people stress over making a small machine perfect before using it, and then never use it. I think it is better time and energy spent on learning to run the machine and learning what you like & want to make, then perfect your equipment. You will waste much less time and energy that way.
@@TigermothRacingTV appreciate the reply. I have it on one of the cheap stands you can get to suit but the storage is atrocious. I built a drawer for it but it's still inconvenient so was looking to custom build something to suit. Time and energy etc etc. A rolling cabinet or truthfully anything store bought as long as it was solid wood be way better so good to hear a practical perspective
