I have a Vextrax Lathe. it's a good machine. Has all the bells and whistles. The lathe is
extremely accurate . I have a 6 jaw adjust tru, Bison chuck on it. I would like to grind
the jaws on this chuck. Reason is with a ground shaft , after indicating in , has about .004
-.005 run out at 12 " . I did all the instalation of the chuck corectly, took cut on backplate before installing chuck.
The reason for this post is I have a DRO on this machine and the scale is covering the
cross slide lock.
I have a Themac tool post grinder , and i want to lock the cross slide while grinding.
Anybody have any ideas? I know I could tighten the gib , But thats not right.
I was thinking of making a lock on the front of cross slide, Attach to where the follow rest is and make something to lock it to the cross slide. Please give me any input on this. OR am i making too big a deal of this.
Thanks, Ken Livenood
