Adam Savage's One Day Builds: New Lathe Chuck!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Adam is super excited to install a new lathe chuck he bought to upgrade his shop's machine lathe--it's an adjustable six-jaw reversible chuck, which is a big step up from the chuck he had previously installed. Adam completely disassembles the piece to clean all of its parts and shows us how the self-centering jaws work, before greasing it up and installing the chuck for a test run!

Adam you may want to invest in a Sky Hook with a tool post mount.
Use it for lifting chucks, vices and large pieces onto lathes, mills, benches up to 500lbs.
Don't want to see one of my favorite makers get hurt muscling chucks in and out of the lathe. It also makes fine tuning a hell of a lot easier because you don't have to move the chuck with your back.
Smarter not harder.

What is the green liquid you're using? Is that a kind of solvent?
@@douglascampbell9809 those things are pretty nifty and you can get one with a portable cart that lifts 250lbs.
I don't understand why your wearing surgical gloves - this aint nasa.
Btw i quite enjoy the camera knocks. It enhances the experience beyond expectations.
Adam im looking for a mini lathe and mill can u recommend some cheap manufactures (from EU if possible) in range of 500-1000$ (each) for lets say beginer i have not touch milling in like 13 years (last time was in school i think) i want to build a maker shed (it looks like i have a middle age crisis ;)
Hi Adam. The 6 jaw adjustable with reversible jaws is a great addition to the shop. Its my favorite. Just an FYI, the cam pins in the back plate have a circumferential groove on each one about 1/4" up from the threaded stud. Thats a reference line intended to be aligned with the face of the back plate at installation. this normally gives you the correct cam rotation and locking action when you tighten the cams. You should also make a wood cradle for installing and removing those chucks and put a piece of aluminum in the jaws to act like a handle. Its the first thing I do with a new chuck and it makes it much easier and eliminates the worry of dropping the chuck or smashing a finger. Stay well bud, I enjoy your work.
@@andybaldman I'd be happy knowing half of what Adam has forgotten about general special effect construction. I admire his skills. Very diverse.
Thanks for the tip Joe. My lathe came with what looks to be close to the same 6 jaw that Adam got, except mine does still say that it's a buck. I hadn't really considered how to improve the process of taking it on and off because it was my only chuck. That is until I picked up a 4 jaw and magnet chuck on auction recently and all of a sudden I have multiple stupidly heavy things that I need to move on and off my Monarch :P (the 6 jaw seemed huge to me, but it's now my smallest chuck)
@@rustedfriend You can get a small "crane" to move them if you need help. ABOM (Adam) uses one to save his back and toes!
@@BLKMGK4 Yeah, I'm planning on hanging a block and tackle over the lathe on an i beam track for taking chucks on and off as well as the tailstock and materials.
Joe, we always kept our chucks and faceplate on a rack mounted to the back to the bed. These had tapped holes for eye bolts and we used a hoist. Most of our lathes (LeBlonds*) had L type long nose tapers.
*the superintendent was a LeBlond admirer. One feature on the later Regals (1970 or so) was the front ways were replaceable. They were hardened and ground and were held on by cap screws from underneath. Most bed wear occurs near the head stock anyways on the operator's side. Unfortunately LeBlond did not put two sets of tapped holes so you could swap the front way end for end.
Just started watching the video, but wanted to say that This guy inspires the hell out of me! Thank you Adam!
I live an apartment and it pains me so much I don't get to have all those heavy duty toys Adam has. I do however work with what I have but it just doesn't feel enough.
Adam is such a big inspiration to get into creating, modifying and improving stuff. His energy is contagious and he continues to teach even after Mythbusters.
@@TechnologistAtWork I have a 12x14’ workshop in my house that ALL my work, building, designing etc is done in. I also shoot all my videos in that space as well. Not ideal, but you work with what you can! 😎❤️ makers gonna make!
Adam, you should do ASMR of disassembling, cleaning, and reassembling stuff like this, because you always have that attention to detail and care for the tool and it shows in how all the parts fit together and sound in motion.
Great vid, just wanna say that even though it's a set-tru or adjust-tru chuck, you should still use best practice and turn the registration surface on the back plate in place on your lathe, so the registration surface has zero runout relative to your spindle bearings... That way you get the most effective range of adjustment from your adjusting screws.....as you said, the spindle taper on the back plate was abused, you can remove that error by doing a skim cut on the registration surface with the back plate mounted in place...
After all the Mythbusters growing up and to these videos, you have changed how I live each day! I always look for ways to make things better in my life. I just completed a project for apartment gardening. I made everything I'd use each day work for me specifically and make my life easier by making what I'm doing easier and making things easier to access quickly. Thanks Adam!!!
You can also for more accuracy you can grind the jaws of the chuck while the Chuck is in and on the machine.. I had to do a three jaw on a Logan lathe, years ago now Logan is a screw-on chuck and there's all sorts of parameters there to get it concentric but you can go in and regrind your clamping Jaws and make sure you're clamping square and true...
Just so you know if you don't already know😉.. good stuff thanks Adam..
Adam, first off love it. Strings around your neck could really get you wrapped up in your work! Please take your hoody off!
You are too important for our sanity.
When I was lab/shop assistant, I would have had to kick students out of the shop for jewelry, hoodies, loose hair, loose glasses, etc. almost every single day. Only thing worse was trying to get the EE students to realized that 5 volt circuits don't plug into 12 volt sources even if the plug fits.
yeah, good luck, we have trouble even encouraging him to wear protective gear, let alone safe clothing.
@@coyotetrickster5758 Thanks for the reply.
I want you to know how much I like Adam’s presentations. There are many times when his show is the best part of my day. They are fun, informative, uplifting, thought provoking, and inspirational!
With that said:
In my many years of working around equipment, one thing I have learned .......safety precautions ARE NOT ONLY about protecting the individual from harm but also protecting others from the results an accident/injury can have. For example, lost time, the fact that the people working with the injured have to pick up the slack and ALSO do their work, the emotional trauma seeing someone get hurt, the cost of our insurance for individuals and for the institution, and the list could go on.
I worked in a place once that if it was determined you failed to use safety guidelines you could be fired whether you got hurt or not. They even gave a bonus to employees who created additional useful safety hints/guidelines/ measures.
I shutter when I hear people say something like, “Look I know I should do this but I just don’t .......I get it”.My reply is” IT ISN’T ALWAYS ABOUT YOU...........”
Adam talks about taking care of each other and being kind. Being safe, setting examples of safety is a form of taking care and being kind to each other.
As I said so many people depend on Adam, I am sure we all want to enjoy the UA-cam productions for years to come.
@@fredbrooks1386 It is funny, Adam would probably be the first person to tell someone that they should wear, and what gear is comfortable, but is also someone who forgets to put on the gear. He probably hasn't had to work in a strict environment. It is kinda a shame though, he kinda sets the benchmark with others and it's not very responsible.
@@coyotetrickster5758 I just re-watched Adam’s talk on shop safety. He does talk about what he thinks about concerning safety. I have to admit, yesterday I did a quick solder repair, or at least what I thought was a quick solder repair. I did not bother to hook up the exhaust system for soldering. An hour later I asked myself, “Why didn’t I hook up the exhaust?” I felt like a hypocrite. What the heck it is being hypocritical!
I know he is a planner and thinks out procedures and steps to complete a project. What about a short safety briefing before he starts. Now I ask myself ,do I do a safety briefing before I start? Sometimes.
He has an ongoing thought process concerning safety when using the table saw!!
Thanks so much for listening. I do enjoy his entire Cave process!
Are you sure that zerk fitting is for grease? Often times in machine tools it is for oil. Oil seems like a better choice for a chuck as it won't attract swarf as bad.
Grease is best, Oil would sling out of the chuck body far more easily. No matter what chips will still get in the body. It mostly depends on the body design how much gets in.
Mine are certainly for oil but know chucks some specify grease.
Machinist pro tip: use a lighter oil instead of grease, and reapply regularly. Grease gets packed full of dust, especially wood, plastic, and bronze, and your chuck will get stiff pretty quickly.
There's a MythBusters Easter egg in cyberpunk 2077. it kind of looks like a dead Adam Savage with his hat and everything and they talk about testing a myth and your by a refrigerator. I think they tried to test if you survive a nuclear blast in a refrigerator
Love that, reminds me of the new vegas easter egg where you can find a skeleton in a fridge wearing an indiana jones hat
@@HyperpigeonMinecraft that’s the joke
@@dillonqaphsiel7977 Different game dude, chill
@@Stettafire I mean the joke is that the cyberpunk Easter egg isn’t really about mythbusters but a reference to Indiana Jones it’s just that Adam wears a similar hate.
@Shaneo Malley ok but the Easter egg still isn’t referencing mythbusters. I’ve seen it, it’s in the junk yard next to Dex
So cool. Enjoy the new chuck!
Heres a idea for one day build: DIY parts washer, preferable one that takes into count really hard crap like some greases that dish soap does not even touch, but the same time one that can be used in the house for those who do not have proper garage/shop.
awesome. looks like a Set-Tru Buck chuck. I just got one this past year for my lathe, and love it!
Now you need a Sky hook crane to help load and unload the chucks at ease. Look into them
when taking a machining class the instructor always had us use a wooden saddle when changing the chuck in case we let it slip and smash our fingers between it and the bed, after seeing one guy smash his fingers that way I always used it
I was hoping when you said "new chuck" that you got a 6 jaw :-). They are super versatile, and on the mill too if you end up with one there too. For some jobs we would remove one jaw too, this allows you to reach down into that empty space and mill a keyway or drill a hole at that location. It would also let you chuck a part that had a key there that was not easily removed too.
I just love how Adam adjusts the camera every 2 minutes
Adam, I would dial in the chuck with the indicator on the I.D., it has a better machined surface.
Hi Adam - awesome video, really enjoyed it! One thing I noticed though, at 18:13 the bolts you lightly tightened on the face of your chuck, it seems from the video that you did not fully tighten them after your clocked it on your lathe. You may have tightened them off-video but I thought I'd best call it out - may cause some inaccuracies in future?
Keep up the good work and stay safe!
I don´t think i ever saw a 6-Jaw chuck...and i cant really make sense of it apart from hold stuff extra extra secured? o.O I hope you can run it with only 3 Jaws inserted
because "that is the way" ;)
Oh and btw. with that dial you just checked if the workpiece is centered (more or less) if you want to check the chuck, you need to get the dial on the chuck.
Adam.. please dial it in closer on chucked in pieces.. so that you can swap ends of a piece and have it concentric to the previous machined surface.. so what it takes you another 15 minutes. the knowledge its as perfect as you can get it. will make you love using it even more..
don't forget.. you may want to use a torque wrench to tighten the chuck jaws evenly each time. lastly.. you can make, depending on how much other equipment you have.. absolutely massive soft jaws when you need to turn something huge or odd shaped..
lastly the D1-6 pins.. how much does ONE turn effect the degrees of locking angle the locking tool.. you might want to get them all exactly the same as it looked like you have about 1/10 of a tightening turn to one turn of the cam pins..
hint for viewers that don't have heated shops.. and moisture is an issue.. or you have coolant flow on your lathe.. between the back of the chuck and the mounting plate.. use a super thin rolled out layer of Hylomar also available at Permatex 85420 flange dressing. its coolant and solvent proof.. this will prevent rust jacking between the mounting plate and the chuck back.
now that you are six jawed.. kinda like the beast in alien.. you can sing how many chucks could a chuck, chuck if a six jaw could chuck chucks.
lastly. the alien thought brought back an alien movie memory.. growing up in hollywood.. the alien movie was playing at the Egyptian theater.. some friends and i as teens to an afternoon show.. we were late to the movie.. the scene was the alien in the water under the cat walks as we walked in to the dark theater with only about a dozen people.. it was really creepy. the carpet was damp.. the seats were damp much like the scene on the screen.. there was moisture coming down from the ceiling. scared my friends so much they ran out the side exit.. i never got back to ask the manager how they pulled that special effect for a dozen people in a 600 set theater without destroying the upholstery. almost 20 years later i was having dinner with some friends.. when somebody mentioned one of the wives had worked in theaters in hollywood. i ask if she had worked at the egyptian.. yes.. while alien was playing yes.. how did you do that effect without ruining the seats and carpet and went on to describe it.. she said that was not a special effect.. that was the day the swamp coolers on the roof overflowed..
what are the chances of running into the exact person who was there 20 years later..
I'd have been tempted to just... chuck it on. (boom tish!)
This was satisfying to watch
Definately a grease Zerk and not a pressure oil fitting?
im suprised to see this manual tightning of the chuck, can't you use some powerdrill or something to make that easier for yourself?
How can anybody give this a thumbs down
great video
When Adam Savage bangs on something with his fist, I call it a BioThwacker.
9:15 With parts like that, just chuck them in the freezer for half an hour to shrink it.
What are the extra benefits from a hex jaw chuck?
Spins chuck up for the first time, puts face as close as possible to it.
Lathe Chuck? is it related to the ghostpirate LeChuck?
Does anyone know what kind of leather that is on his benchtop? And what is used to treat it for benchtop use?
What's the spelling of the thing you called a Zerque fitting? I know those (perhaps colloquial british) as a Grease Nipple.
It's zerk, www.mcmaster.com/zerk-grease-fittings
@@cybershark302 TIL!
you should make a tool tip for your new lips you mentioned
There's something very special about getting a used tool, cleaning it, adjusting it and making it your own. Kind of like rescuing a pet.
i think its a lot about knowing how it works and trying to figure out how it was made, but yes its always nice to get a "new" tool and taking it apart :)
a used pet *

How about getting a brand fucking new one 😑 this guy's net worth is $8,000,000.00
From the author of "Every Tool's A Hammer" comes "Every Chuck is a Vise"
I said this in my midterm exam as an industrial mechanic. My instructor´s face was like I will kill u. (he was on of the tester on this exam)
It get's especially confusing when you have a pin vise.
Every drill is a lathe
An old three jaw actually does make a really nice vise when mounted to a work table. Very handy for holding larger round parts. In my opinion about the only use for a non adjustable 3 jaw is as a boat anchor. I was trained during my apprenticeship to do everything in a four jaw.
i cant no more 😂
1:18 - "I'm still learning how to speak with these new lips." I've never heard that one before and I love it. I'm totally incorporating that one.
I swear I remember hearing it as a quote from one of the doctor who regenerations, I just don’t know which!

I knew I was going to find a comment about that weird sentence. Made me think of botox and a "one day builds" chapter about syringes.
adam: "is it a TT? a ODB?
me: it is bad focus? or deliberately blurred?
Personal information was on the box labels. So it was blurry
maybe its maybelline
33:23 - It may or may not be a vise, but for Adam it's clearly a vice.
I reject your vocabulary and substitute my own!
ha ha - well a 2 jaw chuck "could be a vise" - yes still workholding - most definitely a clamp - I think that encompasses all these variations and specialisations.
When I was still working I took an old 3 jaw about 15" in diameter eter, built a mounting bracket for it. And then mounted it to a steel work table. I was constantly working on the end walls for large centrifuges. Worked really handy for doing inspection work, removing bearing races etc.
New drinking game: take a shot whenever Adam bumps or adjusts the camera. XD
Great .
Be careful though. I tried it with just water, and still got drunk. *hic*
Now I'm dead.
Man oh man I love me some shop tools! WARNING: mixing oil and grease like you did can cause a reaction between incompatible components in each lubricant which can neutralize the lubrication and degrade its performance. I have seen grease turned to the consistency of parmesan cheese because of this.
additional point, grease is more likely to capture swarf and dust which causes issues in precision metalwork, you want to stick to oil because as you use it, and refill it, it will wash any captured swarf/dust out of the components (so oil seeping out and constantly needing to be refilled is an intended feature).
Those "Grease Zerks" are also used for oil using your standard oil can, just hold the tip against the ball at the end to put oil in.
"Is it a show and tell, is it a tool tip, is it a one day build?"
Yes.
Isn’t that true for everything he does? 😜
I feel like there could be some AvE crossover here
Nice
Yes there could be. One is a maker of movies parts. The other is a teacher of words with a attitude of if you don't like what I say or do, than go #@%### don't let the door hit your %$@%%$ ass on the way out.
Jug of Evapo-Rust on the bench, call in Hand Tool Rescue.
Darn, I thought he was going to build a chuck.
Still good. I never knew how the jaws were physically tightened!
It seems like each jaw would be a little more distant from the center as they go around the spiral. Is that why they are numbered? Are the jaws each individually different?
@@TheRainHarvester I think they are, to account for the different distances with the spirals
I also tuned in for that, but wondered how many weeks it would take him. I don’t even know how you machine the jaw scroll.
@@matthewmarting3623 similar to the way you'd do threads
When they say "a lathe is a tool that can build itself" they mean that you buy so many upgrades to it that in the end you have all the spare parts to build another one, right?
I always wondered about that!
--
But then I found D.J. Gingery has a nice description of how a lathe can bootstrap itself by first configuring it as a horizontal boring machine, to bore its head and tail stocks.
A lathe can never really be used to build a true copy of itself. A smaller version sure. All or most of the major mechanical components, but the structural parts, bed, ways etc no. 45 + years of turning solid metal into little curly cues. There is a lot you can do on a lathe. But sometimes I gets pretty cumbersome. Using the slides with a third slide mounted vertically on the cross slide gives you a boring mill, sort off. The problem comes in that the ways on the bed of a lathe are designed to take forces in a different direction.
@@mpetersen6 In order to make a rudimentary lathe, you only need to be able to cast metal, file and scrape it flat, and have a lathe for the round / concentric bits.
Of course, having a mill / shaper greatly helps in making the linear shapes, and a surface grinder in quickly getting to the required precision. For gears you obviously need a mill or milling attachment.
But it is possible to build a perfectly functional lathe without any machine tool but a lathe. And using said lathe and manual tools, one can build any other machine tool.
@@TheEvertw
Believe me, I've pushed a far amount of chips with scrapers. Both flat and bearing. Of course to do the castings you need wood to carve the patterns. Tools to carve with. Like the man said, first you need to make the tools to make the tools etc, etc. And to think it all started with a rock cracked to get a sharp edge.
@@mpetersen6 I got where you are coming from ;-)
I am fascinated by the history of machine tools, how new developments were used to build upon what already was. The Lathe is probably the oldest machine tool, used with stone chisels to make round things, or in its horizontal form to shape pots. Perhaps some type of drill preceded it, but those don't count ;-)
How much lathe could a lathe chuck chuck, if a lathe chuck could chuck lathe?
My wife loves this comment she didn't stop giggling 👍
My wife just gave birth amd I'm waiting to pick up her Starbucks and watching this, love your stuff!!
Amazing! Congratulations. I hope you slept enough....you won´t get enough in quite some time now :D
congrats dude!!
Congrats! I've been spending my paternity leave for the past 3 months watching one day builds at 3am. Welcome to the no sleep club.
Zen and the art of Lathe repair!
Thos was insanely satisfying to watch, I would love tonsee a whole series of Adam taking stuff appart, cleaning it and making it perfect again!
Hate to disappoint you but that cleaning wasn’t perfect. The way the jaw moved and sounded when he tested it in the spiral was not good. Those components should be stoned to deburr them, the outside of the jaws and the face should be done as well. Needing to hammer a jaw into place is not a correct fit.
The chuck should be tightened on the spindle nose like a tire is mounted. Tighten them in 180 opposing pairs. The D1-6 spindle taper is where the accuracy and repeatability comes from, if the chuck isn’t seated parallel it will cause problems.
@Tullerion Check out Stefan Gotteswinter searching the term "teardown" -- he's definitely not as charismatic or charming as Adam, but he's a terrific machinist, and his teardown, clean, reassemble, perfection routine is amazingly satisfying.
Grease will pick up chips and make a grinding paste. Oil would be better
WAY oil to be exact. Many Bridgeports are covered with swarf (abrasive stuff) collecting grease rather than way oil.
How often does the chuck have to be adjusted to ensure that the accuracy of the 6 jaws stay within a 1/2 thousandth of concentric? After every use or less often?
Absolutely love the video.
me and my kids are huge fans thank you for taking the time to make your content Adam
Lathe tip. Always keep a piece of plywood large enough to cover both ways close at hand, and put it on the ways before removing or installing a chuck. That way if (when) your hands slip and you drop a chuck on them it does not damage either. Also, chucks like this with fine adjustment are meant to compensate for minor variations in the jaws and scroll, meaning that the reference point for adjustment should be a piece of material clamped in the jaws, not the body of the chuck. This adjustment can only be counted on for that specific diameter of material, and if a different diameter is used that size material should be chucked up and concentricity checked and adjusted if needed.
yeah I made a custom block out of a 4x4 with a radius for my chuck on top and 2 v's for the ways on the bottom, it's such a godsend trying to set up my 4 jaw
Internet: Wow, cool 6 jaw chuck! What are you going to turn with it?
Probably Adam: I dunno, probably Delrin.
I watched Mythbusters growing up and you inspired me to become a Scenic.
In the 15 years I followed your lead, I was able to work on 3 Star Wars films, The Avengers franchise, and 100s of TV shows.
Thank you for everything you have accomplished, it's given me wings.
Thanks so much for your comment. We'll pass it along to Adam!
What a dream job!
I always love watching the swiss army knife in the background when you guys do a timelapse.
Same I often find my self looking at it
Missed opportunity not to sync the knife movement in the timelapse to the beat of the music though.
Aside from complexity and price, what disadvantages are there to a six jaw chuck?
I've noticed you have multiple styles of blow guns, is there a specific style of kind of blow gun you prefer or ones that work for different tasks?
Just me that tried to clean my screen at the start of the video? 😂
No more porn for you!
@@pinchopaxtonsgreatestminds9591not what I meant at all but okay 😂
Don't own a lathe, but I still watched 40 minutes of Adam working on his new 6 jaw chuck. Excellent!
Ah yes, the all too frequent “406: grease gun too large” error. 😂
SAFETY FIRST!
NO LONG SLEEVES.
NO JEWELLERY.
NO WATCHES.
NO LONG HAIR.
NO LOOSE CLOTHING.
I just love how you can get something like this used for a far lower price than new, refurb it fairly easily to full function, and at some point (hopefully a long time) it will likely go to somebody else who will be able to use it with no issues before they too pass it on. Used in a non-production environment, the usable life is probably measured in centuries.
Evaporust, HandToolRescue would be proud
Robrenz would be screaming at the use of the mallet though, and would have gotten that chuck to zero runout.
I wish I didn’t get the reference.
I’m on UA-cam all day with no remorse
Raise your hand if you were talking to Adam saying PUT A BOARD OVER YOUR WAYS AND UNDER THE CHUCK When ever changing Chucks? lol Beautiful Christmas present to your Self Adam! Cheers! Zip~
Love 6 jaw chucks you just know it’s holding everything so tight
That is so dope. I used the six jaw Chuck once it is so easy to grip stock with and is very module. Makes projects with weird shaped stock a lot easier.
You may want to consider having a scrap of plywood around to put under the chuck when you're swapping them. If you drop the chuck on the ways it's going to make a pretty nasty dent.
While the swiss army knife display's dance routine was amusing, I would greatly appreciate a little bit less timelapse on these.
I'm seeing adam do a lot of things, most of them I recognize, but I'd like to hear his explanation or even just idle commentary about what he's doing and why...
Like what type of red grease is he applying at the 6 minute mark?
I installed a collet clamp on my lathe, it is much more accurate than a conventional planetary chuck and the runout is zero💪😯
This video has the MOST ADS per minute of video that I have EVER seen on youtube. WTF is going on here?
Chucks don’t 💰 for themselves. But yeah, tested is running way more ads.
UA-cam adds them automatically. We've gone in and deleted a bunch this morning.
UA-cam pushed me into an adblocker when they made mandatory double ads a thing. I no longer "watch TV," because I cannot stand the constant and lengthy interruptions. UA-cam is doing its darndest to adopt the model millions of people like me have abandoned in favor of commercial free streaming.
If you drag the time bar at the bottom to the end of the video, and wait till it has the replay arrow, hit replay and the video will start over with zero adds almost every time. If it doesn't work do over until it works.
I use adblocker and don't have to sit through any ads.
Never seen a man who Is happier than Adam when a new tool arrives!
6-jaw! Going to be turning some tubes soon?
Just Adam Savage things: *Smacks the object a few times like it is dough*
This baby can hold SO many projects!
I love that during the first time lapse, while Adam is taking the chuck apart, that with its replacement blade going, the Swiss Army Knife display in the back looks like it doing Jazzercise.
It is so nice to see that the table is being used, it is a beautiful table.
Love to see things like this. If it hasn't been done already a tutorial on what types of oils/grease to use for different applications would be interesting to see.
Funny to hear Adam talk about tools as superpowers. Anytime I've gotten a new tool or upgraded I also always think of it as gaining a new super power.
I'm guessing this was 90% made just so you knew how to put it back together,
Lovely piece of hardware.
enjoy
thanks for sharing
ps... guessing you don't have an ultrasonic cleaning machine?
No, d1-6 is a ‘size 6 ‘ spindle nose. It is the diameter and the angle of the nose taper and the pcd. It is the quick change version of the four stud and lock ring of the size6 that I have on my TOS. Even though it has a grease nipple it will be for an oil gun. Grease does you over because swarf sticks to it. Slide oil is what you want on a low use machine, nice and sticky. Congratulations on finding that chuck, it is an amazing thing :o)
I'm awaiting a couple of upgrades for my Amiga 1200 - one of which will give my 29 year old Amiga an HDMI port. The other will give me a floppy drive emulator, which will eliminate the need for me to use the 29 year old floppy disks (which are still working, mind you), as I get a USB plug for a pen drive with floppy disk images instead of an actual floppy drive. Both parts will be here any day now :-)
ADAM!!!!
I doubt you’ll see this but just in case you do, as a former machinist, I’ve got a tip for ya!!
Before removing your heavy chuck from the lathe spindle, lay a piece of plywood under it. This way, when you tap it to remove it, (or if you have slippery fingers) it won’t crash into the ways and damage the machine! :-)
Possibly stupid question. If you didn't have a precision ground object to check concentricity, could you just turn down a piece of stock then rotate it 180 degrees in the chuck to take the measurement? If my thinking is correct the concentricity errors of the chuck and the stock should then be equal and now added together meaning your measurement would be amplified by 2 (eg. a measured error of .004" would be .002" of actual error). would this work or am I way off base?
Tip, You should of used a Homing/lapping stone on the groves of the jaws and jaw slots to make smooth .
As using a hammer to force some jaws in is a BIG (NO NO)
At that stage you should of took back out and then smoothed out the surfaces.
You have your ER collect right behind your chuck, do you think that will chips and oil flying off the chuck, right in to them?
Grease the shmoo out of it until it really runs skookum!
When he started seating the jaws, did anyone else have a Stargate flashback?

Give Adam Savage a few months. He'll machine a working stargate.
It would be nice if Joe Pieczynski would take over for Mr. Pete with complicated machining setups with graphic illustrations. Or that he publish a book with these type of illustrations. This would spur on thought for do it yourself home machinists.
Also adam, would be nice if we were to know who and where to purchase these 6 Jaw chucks like you have. This is a different design than other more common adjustable precise chucks. Thanks for sharing your video.
1. yes that space in the scroll plate is where you need to install the pinion (if you try to assemble a chuck every part should just slide together no hammer)
2. they make grease specifically for chucks
3. Zerk fitting are cheap replace them when ever you remove them (240 for $40 on amazon that's 6 cents apiece)
Adam Looks like you were a-little behind the 8 ball getting that chuck on the lathe. Fun video! Have an old 1740 lathe. I Lov running that machine. My favorite machine. I want that chuck.
You grab odd pieces in that chuck also jaws some out and in even remove and use two three n four jaws. Very versatile chucks mines solid jaws and have both sets. If I sell my lathe I'm keeping it for the next lathe. Or just get another lathe bigger then my 11" Logan. Must be ruff edges or burrs in chuck jaw channel or needs more lube. It shouldn't be that tight specifically the jaws having to be hit in to engage scroll.
Hey Adam, if you have a 3/8” power ratchet, make an adapter to your new chuck, fwiw, machinists use a brass hammer to get the last little bit of accuracy, my 110 year old South bend is pretty worn out, I hope I can find a buyer, would hate to let it go in the estate sale. No pressure. 😎
Oehaa, a selfcentering six jaw chuck, sexy. When I learned how to use a lathe, three jaw self centering was the max. if you needed accuracy, one needed to use collets (well, if you need high accuracy, that's still the case, I suppose).
Very nice one, pretty simple mechanism, just a few extra jaws :-)

Something is Bass-Ackwards here...
There are multiple screws for tightening your workpiece in the 6-jaw. Use all of them for an even grip. If you don't you introduce a small additional error in your concentricity. Ask Adam Booth.
My take number two ^-^ The back plate should be a slight interference fit in the chuck. (Step made on the same lathe) The taper gets damaged by fitting it with swarf on the taper. The taper nose should grab just enough that the chuck needs a tap with a leather hammer to take it off. Easy fix if it is loose, skim the back plate so it goes on further.
Looks like a BUCK CHUCK, only way to fly, I have several of them, you need to get Buck chuck wrench it's longer and 5/16 hex at end of T handle
OMG Adam you're such a knuckle buster... Slow down a bit and you won't hit so many bumps in the road. Great video though thanks for sharing.
