Adjusting a 3 jaw in a rotary positioner?
Yep. Its a new grizz positioner- made in taiwan, it locks up tight, has a smooth action. Threads are so so, some sharp corners. When I took the jaws apart I noticed that one jaw had a lot more removed from it, while another barely had any. 2 still had the grooves in the jaws, one was... -

Adjusting a 3 jaw in a rotary positioner?
I came here to ask for help not listen to BS from a boomer. I just got it to .003" with no help from you. I don't even have 30 years experience. The problem with old people is that they have their ways and don't have a open mind to anything new, and they miss out on the world. Your replies are... -

Adjusting a 3 jaw in a rotary positioner?
YES! success. So I recheck the runouts on my mill in all axis, was less than a .001. This time I used a left over ground rod that was 1.00". Put that in the positioner, then aligned it to 1 jaw that was perpendicular to the bit. I was trying to cut one jaw at a time as a offset to the... -

Adjusting a 3 jaw in a rotary positioner?
While I appreciate that, that's not what I need. My lathe can do that but I need a positioner for simple muzzle breaks, And I can't drop more money for accuracy I will never use. -

Adjusting a 3 jaw in a rotary positioner?
Okay I have a rotary position/index table that I added a 3 jaw to. Back plate was cut on a lathe with a threaded rod ( I cut 1.125" -8" IIRC) that fit the back plate. I faced/plug cut then turned diameter to fit 3 jaw. I mounted it to index table after mounting the back plate. Back plate was...
