How do you check for wear on a power lathe chuck? My jaws have a little wiggle in them. How much is too much? Anyone ever have one rebuilt?
If I put on a new set of hard top jaws, should they be dead nuts accurate? or do they need to be ground true?
I got .020 TIR run out, chuck was almost dry when I got the lathe. Disassembled cleaned and moly greased. I noticed the run out on the job I'm doing now, never noticed before???? Saw I had two master jaws switched. Took apart again, cleaned, reassembled correctly. Same run out.
