Hi all, sorry for the rookie lathe question but I can't find a good explanation for the life of me. What's the reason for places selling a lathe chuck with a semi-finished back plate, specifically for a 4-jaw independent chuck? I can appreciate an on-the-machine finished back plate for a self centering chuck. It seems for an independent jaw chuck, a small amount of runout on the chuck body wouldn't be a big deal as long as the chuck doesn't move on the back plate. Is it so the clamping interface between the back plate and chuck is perfectly planar and perpendicular to the spindle axis?
P.S. My question is in regards to a manual lathe with L00 nose, but should apply to other nose types as well.
Thanks in advance!
