Hello,
While turning close to my chuck my Aloris tool holder handle rubbed on the rubber grip/handle of my Harding-Sjogren 3J chuck and it seems to have tighened it up. Well now I can't undo the chuck to remove a collet. Anyone have some ideas how to loosen it up? It's been a bit tight before but nothing like this.
While typing, anyone every take on of these chucks apart? I'm pretty sure it's about time that it needs an internal cleaning etc. I got it from e-bay and the zirk fitting to lubricate it has always been bent slightly so I could replace it while I was cleaning it up. I am heading to the Hardinge WWW site next to see if I can get a manual but thought I would ask here at the same time.
Thanks, Jeff
