I have an 8 inch Adjust True Buck 3 jaw scroll chuck. Its in like new condition for being made in 79. I am having an issue getting that final adjustment. I removed the chuck from the lathe and took it apart, cleaned it all up, stoned a few rough spots, lightly lubed with high pressure grease on the back plate and re mounted it, same issue. What I am wondering is if the 12 screws that hold the front plate, scroll and back plate together are too tight that it prevents the 4 adjustment screws to move the back plate for the final few fine adjustments. . Does anyone know if there is a torque spec on those screws?
I have called Buck Chuck Company several times, left voice mails and sent emails without any response yet so I figured I would ask here.
