Great video Spiros and some very useful tips,especially for anyone just getting into wood turning because sooner or later a stuck chuck going to happen. In the past I have got the mother in law to glare at it ....... that always works ;) so these tips will save her from coming here to sort it out ... Many grateful thanks Bram :)
Bram the Wadesmill woodturner lol thanks for watching my friend. Also thanks for your kind words. I know what you mean about in laws.
Just bought a used lathe, with a nova 3g stuck on it. The heavy metal bar chucked up snug, a shot of wd40, and a couple whacks with a hammer and it came free. Really enjoyed your video, and thanks for the tips!
jakewhicker awesome! Thank you!
I don't turn wood, but I'm 100% sure this video was very helpful to many others. I'm just here for the wood lol.
A Gad thank you and thanks for the feedback. Lol
So, I’ve finally got a chuck stuck. Didn’t know it was a thing. But it’s very much a thing. Can’t get it off… and I’m said. It’s halting production. Will try soaking it first.
My question is does this damage how the front and back line up? Will they still be on center? Or will I have to figure out how to make the head stock and tail stock align again ? Thanks.
It’s only a matter of time for a Chuck or face plate to get stuck. The lathe should be fine and inline as long as extreme measures were not taken. It also depends on the lathe. Most lathes can be re-aligned. Hope you can get the chuck off. Cheers!
I got it. Thanks for the help.
Thank you - this was very helpful.
Paul Westra thank you for watching
Thanks for the video. A great tip for getting a stuck adapter out of a chuck that is off the lathe is to attach the jaws only the legs of your lathe then use a wrench. Thanks again
Thanks for watching, glad it helped!
very helpful
hiroshi watanabe thank you
Thanks. I have a stuck chuck and will try your suggestions.
Peter Callaghan no problem, I hope you are able to remove the chuck. Thanks for watching.
Very Helpful.
An American Artisan thank you, I’m glad! Cheers!
I use a some ptfe tape on the thread and up against the headstock and all shared help is good
martkt10 hey that's a great idea. Thanks for sharing and for watching.
Nice video and very helpful Spyros really enjoy it
Kwstas Antwniou thank you sir!
Awesome
Adam Morrissey Thank you!
Thanks for this, got my stuck chuck off. Soaked over night with wd40. Used a piece of leadwood to support a hole punch in the shaft. Secured with duct tape and a long bar in the chuck Jaws. Came off no problem.
Graham Parkinson thank you, and I’m glad you got the chuck off. Good idea with the hole punch.
Great informative video. New to turning. Have not had a stuck chuck yet, but probably only a matter of time.
Bill K awesome, that's exactly why I put this video out there to help. Hopefully you won't have a bad one. Thank you for watching.
This presentation was just what I needed! Now, I'm trying to apply one or two of the methods. At present, I'm try to apply some heat to the stuck assembly on the idea that the metal, at least on the faceplace, will expand enough to allow remove. In any case, thanks for a complete review of all the methods!
Ivan Stern glad I can help or hope that I can. I didn’t mention all the possible methods but those were some that worked for me. I also use the plastic rings now to avoid that issue and there is little run out in doing so. I have not had a stuck chuck since. Thanks for watching and commenting. Cheers!
Been there and done that...! Lots of great information....! Thank you for sharing....! Very informative......!
Jack Maravola thank you, glad you liked it.
Hope you like the new informational video.
where did you get the run out guage setup?
Rick Grant hi, I bought the gauge on Amazon. Just type in Dial indicator. They vary in price, mine was around $40 US and it's fairly accurate. Thanks for watching.
Great helpful vid... just a quick tip, if you are going to grip your spindle with vice grips, try some thin copper or aluminium sheet between the teeth and the spindle... it won't compromise the grip but it will stop the damage to the spindle
Glyn Senior thank you and thanks for watching. That is a great 💡 idea. Not sure why I never thought of that. Thank you for the tip. Take care my friend.
I use anti seize by John Deere. Don't know if it helps but haven't had a stuck chuck.
Good vid.
Cheers
Lee Waterman I haven't tried that kind before. I will have to give that a try. Thank you for the feedback my friend and watching. Take care.
Is this for if the chuck won't move or you can't unscrew it? Because mine won't unscrew
Correct, should give you some ideas on the subject.
I tried the plastic washer didn't work for mine Grizzly G0698 then I ordered some washers made of brass this did the trick had to use two of them but they worked and also use them on my Delta lathe it is a 1" the Grizzly is 1 1/4" try it you may like them better
Tom Palmer good idea with the soft metal washers. That may cut down on the vibration and run out from the plastic washers. I am going to try those. Thank you for sharing the tip, I appreciate it my friend. Take care.
Tom Palmer
where did you order brass washers from?
Where did you order the brass washers from?
e-bay is where I found them look them up under copper shims in the size you won't or brass shims
Great info, I have a chuck stuck on a home made lathe. I'll have to soak it with penetrating oil
mark beauchamp sorry to hear that, I feel your pain my friend. The oil works for sure, or helps in addition to other methods. Hope you will get it off. Thank you for watching.
Did you really use vice grips on your shaft?!?
Flugschüler Fluglehrer I did, it works, but scuffs up the shaft. Not my first choice for a stick chuck, but it’s an option on the inside. Thanks for watching
Flugschuler....Yeah, and those darned ol' "teeth marks" will tear you up every time....very painful.
The same model lathe, the same problem! ! ! ! Crazy
rings made from paper work for me and they're free!😆
Alan Mullock hey, that's a good idea. I never tried that before. Thank you for the tip. Cheers my friend.
You are on the right track with the strap clamps but you should use a more industrial version. If you use one of these www.zoro.com/ch-hanson-locking-chain-clamp-20-72000/i/G4861011/ directly behind your chuck (your lathe may have a better location to clamp) Then use a wrench on the chuck flats it is much easier.
put a plastic, or fiber washer behind chuck.
Gary Irwin that's a good idea. I showed that at the end of the video. Lol thanks for watching.
lug wrench in chuck
F.U. Buddy good idea. Thanks for watching.
