Mounting a drill chuck in the lathe came up , so I put one of mine in the lathe . My spindle is 3MT and the chuck tang is 2MT so an adapter sleeve was used . This is just "a chuck" , nothing special . Runout at the chuck was .003 TIR , at 12 inches from the chuck it was .012" . The rod stock I used was a piece of 1/2" O1 drill rod . The rod is over 24" long , but I did not consider sag to be a factor in the measurement I was doing .
