I recently bought a Grizzly G9249 and have come to the first time that I want to change from a 3-Jaw to a 4 Jaw. I see that there are two allen-bolt attached clamps. I removed those and suppose that the 3-Jaw unscrews from the spindle. I am having a bugger of a time getting it off and am afraid that I am going the wrong way and/or it doesn't even screw off-or there is some mechanism for detachment that I am unaware of. The manual that came with the lathe is very brief when it comes to operation and techniques. Does anyone have the answer to the 3 basic questions below?
- How does a chuck on the spindle of the G9249 come off?
- If it unscrews after the two clamp pieces are removed, which way does it unscrew?
- If it unscrews and rescrews, is there a tool that one can make to aid in the removal and reattachment?
Thanks a billion to anyone that can help me!
