Had a nice crash today on my lathe...stupid mistake that will probably ain't cheap to fix.
Was doing too much stuff at the same and made an error in the cam program.
The tool went too fast into the z axis causing the material to be thrown out of the chuck.
Besides a broken insert and damaged toolholder. The chuck does have runout...
I removed it and check everything but one jaw seems to be very snug in its slide. Had to use a hammer to get it out.
First I was thinking the jaw was damaged/bent but that wasn't the case, because the jaw works fine in the 2 other slides.
And the 2 other jaws don't work in the damaged slide.
I also removed the internals of the chuck and cleaned everything. But didn't solved the issue.
Can I throw this chuck in the bin...? Or is there a way to fix it.
