Hello all,
I hope this is the right place for my question.
I am turning a new 9" chuck mount for my DSG lathe.
I have a copy of the OEM drawing for the mounting plate.
They made their own version called a "Fastlock" for a few years. I was lucky enought to get one of these lathes....
Anyhow, the id is 6.250 (-.00000) and (+ .0015) I have got the piece close to final size and I am concerned about hitting my mark, I have a very nice near new Moore and Wright inside mic, I also tried to double check with my 24" Starrett vernier caliper. I got two different readings.
Which one do I trust?
I don't want to dismount the chuck right now and measure my one and only reference. I know I should have measured it before I started to double check my inside mic, but I didn't (hindsight is 20/20).
I am at about 6.230 right now.
Maybe I am over concerned about this but I would really like to get it right, It has been a lot of work to get the large chunk of steel to this point.....
Some help from those who have done this a thousand times would be great.
Thanks
Michael Moore
