When I'm using a three jaw chuck on this lathe it can be out by more than .015, even using the collet nose I can get over .005 run out.
The question is what should the diameter of the holes in this spindle nose be. The reason I'm asking this is that I measure .594. This seems way oversized,and maybe worn to the point of needing a replacement. When I measure the studs on the back of the chuck's, 5C collet holder, and other accessories I get 9/16 so I know the studs are okay. Maybe there is a fix for this but that's why I'm asking you guys. If it is shot maybe someone could stir me to a place I could get a new one, or at least a good used one without having to go to Monarch.
I know I'm going to get some great answers here and I will appreciate everyone of them.
Thank you
Larry.
