My three jaw chuck on my AA is worn pretty badly. I can't get it to hold a consistent .005 anywhere in its range. I have read all of the posts I can find, and there doesn't seem to be any way to correct this in a satisfactory manner. I do have a 4 jaw, and it works fine. I am looking around for a new 3 or 6 jaw, but none of the suppliers I have found have a back plate with the threads to match my spindle. I measure it at 3 1/2" and 4 threads per inch. Is this a "standard" mount for Monarch lathes? Does anyone know of a supplier that stocks "older" back plates? Is it possible to take the back plate off my worn out three jaw and adapt it to a current production chuck? Any help would be appreciated.
