- 6 jaw Lathe Chuck Restoration. I found this old rusty chuck well I was still in Georgia.. I did the restoration in Georgia, and in California I fitted it with the new back plate. You will see restoration technics, Lay out and Metal lathe work. You will Also see my new tool cutter grinder at work modifying the countersink.
There is a lot to see and learn in this video, let's get started

Dale, nice find. Make a video of you tracking down the guy responsible for such neglect and you torturing him slowly. I'd come back for that one. You are going to like that chuck.
Or was it a nice clean chuck made to get a bit rusty just to get some good content.
It's obvious all the mechining guys would watch a video showing a six jaw in the condition it was. Well, I say that, it looked great condition, it was just covered with very light surface rust.
Seems fishy to me.
Maybe Dale hired Jimmy Diresta to work his magic on that and make it look old.
i regularly use it! thank for share!
Thanks Dale. I can't believe how nice that turned out after seeing what you started with. Great job, nice addition.
The chuck turned out very nice Dale!! I wasn't too crazy about seeing you hitting the jaws with the hammer, but seeing as how you are going to grind the jaws anyway we'll let it slide this time.
Thanks for sharing that with us.
I agree, glad you're back Dale
One more thing to mention, jaw installation can actually begin at any slot. As long as you start with jaw #1 and install them in numerical order, it will work just fine.
I’ve been pushing that for about eight years. Thanks for bringing it up, Joe Pie!
Watching you lay out the holes on the back plate brings me back to high school machine shop class..sum 35 yes ago . Although I did not go I to the machine shop -chef instead- still brought me back to Mr. Johnson's class. Had so much fun in that class great video thanks for sharing.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Am surely looking forward to seeing you grind in the jaws! Thank you.
Cool, a restoration.........
Gonna put it in this rubber bucket...
Wait a minute, MUST HAVE ! gotta find that bucket now!!!
Awesome Dale, great to see you back and great project. Looking forward to the next stage. Kindest regards. Joe.
Wow amazing derusting agent.
Loved the video very infornative.
Chuck looks amazing
Good to see you doing cool stuff again Dale ...hopefully you can stay put in this shop for a good while.
Thanks Dale, well done.
Great score. I’m looking forward to the jaw grinding.
My adjustible six jaw had to be ground and I bought it N.O.S. in the original box. One can adjust them to zero tir at the jaw tips but if a bar a foot long is way off 12" away from the jaw tips you have no choice.
Nicely done Dale!
welcome back!! great video, cant wait to see teh next!!
Beautiful work.
have missed you videos, hope your back in the groove
So glad to,see,you back making videos again. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
i just finished my 200mm 3jaw röhm chuck...took 1month to take it apart carefully enough to keep the tolerances....works perfect now and its super accurate :)
Nice video, Great energy. Loved it.
Great video. Love the shot with the natural sunlight. You must love your new workshop. Cheers! : )
Look forward to seeing seeing the next one
As long as your not fixing a computer...hammers are great! Thanks for sharing Dale!
Depends on the type computer as you can have a mechanical or electrical. If you don't know what I'm talking about then look up the difference
Very good
Great job!
very good work
*_Love That Thumbnail!!_*
That stuff you soaked the chuck body in works well.
I've been smacking my chucks and vises with an old chunk of copper for 30 years - they continue to work just fine.
Great job mister.
Es la primera vez que miro un Chuck con seis muelas de ajuste...
Felicitaciones.
Well done!
enjoyed as always
Love restorations
I'm totally hooked. You took what seemed to be impossible, and made it a reality. Well played, sir. You can count me as a new subscriber!
Hi Dale. Nice six jaw. Great save
Great 👍 job love ❤️ your videos your almost there at 💯 thousand subscribers.from Canada 🇨🇦 Tony
TIG torch, the best easy-out in the shop👍
Awesome video
Awesome!
Great job Dale, turned out really good and will come in real handy I am sure..... watch out Tom!!! LOL, good to see you guys get inspiration from eachother like we do from you.
I would agree with J Grana as you should know better than using a Body Hammer and Pick to hammer on the jaws. A quick tip, use either copper or brass metal to hammer on hardened jaws fella. Good Day too.
man master of his craft
Enjoyed. Thanks.
i like Restoration
i love the 6 klaw,, looks so pro en making the lay so asom.
olso the restiration is good... tanhs for the movie. goodluck !
gr
I want to teach me, I love this work passionately and you are skilled
Dale, It's a Burnerd! I have the same chuck on my old Colchester Master. it is an amazing chuck (mine is at least) super tight, as repeatable as a scroll chuck can get. Nice find!
I subbed pretty cool Restorations that you do and you give good tips on Machining
Nice work
Good Job
Nice job on the restore. Unique chuck, never seen that type of adjuster. Ok, the Applause has to go.
you are right the Applause sux
I am glad You didn't hit it with a hammer 😂 great video as always 👍
Looks like Pratt Burnerd to me. They have 6-jaw chuks with these alignment screws and the backing plate looks very similar to the one I have on my 3-jaw Pratt Burnerd. A nice find!
Good old British engineering!
I think I'll start buying shares in Evapo-Rust looking at my old tool collection. Don't be afraid to leave things soaking for a few days if they need freeing up but it will darken or black some hardened steels and leave shadow lines if not fully submerged in one dip. Doesn't melt or harm plastics and whilst not pleasant, the smell is very tolerable, unlike a cheaper brand I tried that also leaves a white salt build up if left for weeks but that was my fault. You get a silt residue from grit and dirt or paint flakes and grease but it separates when left to stand or can be filtered through a funnel and paper towel or a coffee filter for re-use.
Evapo rust did an amazing job
Nice hammer!
I'm really suprized you don't hammer with a brass /lead something softer than steel.
Thanks for the video. You did not lie when you said that you are not going to hit it with a Hammer. (in the singular) You hit it with several different Hammers.
ever herd of a copper mallet and a brass punch to remove the jaws,good restoration though
Yelling at the screen and he never heard me! Humph!
You took the words out of my mouth!!!!
It's a Thor subject ;-)
I had to stop watching it. I couldn't take it.
I have a large copper hammer I use for truing crankshafts.
Your video editing is fantastic man. I like how quickly the scenes go
Subscribed.
It's a pratt Burnerd chuck made in England, I've had a couple three jaw chucks with the same tapered pins and the three tabs on the main casting that you said has wear it's not wear they are machined like that so the tapered pins have more contact area. I also have a 4 jaw independent chuck with the same Pattern Pending written on the face.
Thanks for that...I have one of these chucks as well (3 jaw) and could never figure out the maker. One of the tapered pins is broken, maybe now I can find a replacement...
The pins are not hard to make. Start with a cap headed bolt, drill out a peace of solid stock and solder the bolt inside put it in the lathe then turn the taper.. Thats what I did :-)
I just saw that brand name on a six jaw chuck, this morning.... I think it might have been Tom's Techniques... It's funny that it caught my eye, since I know little, to nothing about chuck brands.
But this one looked familiar as you worked on it. I've been watching a lot of his old stuff, the last 2-3 days, recovering from ten days of workin hard.
Unless the jaws are chowdered up, you shouldn't "grind them in", this is a set-tru/adjust-tru/blah chuck and those 3 tapered bolts are for adjusting the chuck to run true. Chuck up something that is 1/2 the capacity of the chuck, then adjust the chuck true to that round part. For really fussy tight tolerance work, you'd adjust those to get right on the money.
looks like a pratt burnerd "griptru" chuck. Not sure the adjusters will work with countersunk screws holding the backplate on, as they will always pull central. Usually have cap screws with a bit of clearance to allow the backplate to move
Nice job, makes we wish I hadn't thrown out my independent 4 jaw that flooded in Katrina. Thanks for the Tips & Tricks, I'll keep those in mind. Hope you make the 100,000 mark. I'm just coming up on 3K on my channel, LOL. Best Wishes & Blessings. Keith Noneya
Also I like your hyperactive video editing
Buy or make a brass hammer! What!?, you just like the "ringing"!? lol Also, a chuck, turntable, or machine vise, you just take that sucker and dunk it in your Safety-Kleen Reservoir. Leave it overnight! You don't have a big caustic mess, a lot less expense, and it works great! Just like penetrant you know!?
You had the idea, whether you're keeping that backplate or not though! Remove it and disassemble from the back! I've seen guys beat around on the chuck jaws and try to run them out before taken everything else apart and they end up beating their scroll up! You got to think that a six jaw is going to to experience a lot less wear, because in normal operation the push on those gear teeth and scroll etc. is cut in half! Great job with this chuck! Man you saved some bucks there!, and a lot of people would turn their noses up at that thing!!
No chastisements from me. A body shop is missing a dinging hammer. LOL The chuck looks great. Now you got me looking for a rusty 8" 6-jaw. Always interesting.
Great video, the chuck turned out really nice. It looked like both mount adapters were cast iron. Can you make a video on machining cast iron? I've done a bit of it but I find that getting a good finish on the lathe can be challenging.
not bad,I use 6 jaw chuck like 2 jaw chuck selfcentering,this one looks like new!!
Tip number two, you use graphite to lube the jaws as grease will let chips clog up the chuck again.
You should really not use graphite in there, as it will induce galvanic corrosion between parts.
Great job👍 Hello from Ukraine
Hi from San Francisco 😀
6:28 Tasty chuck key you got there 😉
So when do we get to see the new shop tour and new purchases? Great video Dale
Still better to put them in the exactly same place where they come from jeah and that hammer thing lmao. Stil happy to see it alive.
Never seen a rubber bucket like that before.
Awesome, I have a smaller lathe chuck I want to clean up. Any tips for how to keep them in good shape after cleanup?
Great video on saving and mounting a chuck. I would like to see the video be longer so as to not have the video be mostly on fast forward. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the great content!
Yep, TOO MUCH FF! 👎🏽
Do not grind in the jaws, the whole point of these Burnerd "Griptru" chucks is that you can align the jaws without grinding them by manipulating the tapered bolts with the back plate slightly eased. Because of this feature, these chucks are very expensive.
Please watch the next video. You will discover why I needed to grind the jaws
Great video! What advantages do the 6 jaw have over the 4 jaw chucks?
Nice video was I appreciate
I one question which liquid was used to clean the chuck which was kept over night
I need that backing plate!
Lathe chuck holding a lathe chuck; how perverse! ;o)
Oh come on Dale, less yackin and more wackin. You know you can't get watch maker precision with out using a six pound mall (Irish Micrometer)! Great find by the way and nice job on the video. Using that spray lube kind of reminds one of the mimeograph sheets they use to hand out in school...maybe that's why my projects go a' rye.
About broke my heart when you cut the L1 taper threads off. That is what I use I was sitting watching think you would build another backing plate and I would hit you up to see if you wanted to sell that on.
Given the fact that its a casting with the integral adjustment lugs on it what do you think he was going to do with it? It wouldn't fit his lathe, so of course he was going to turn the threads off!!
Think how good and interesting this video would have been if it was displayed and spoken in a natural calm and stress-free pace.
I think you don't have DRO on that Bridgeport to divide those pattern holes I expect you to use Rotary table also to divide accurate holes anyway it works well with you. Thanks for sharing.
Please explain more what you are doing and how. Thanks
Hey Dale, great video. Wish we could get that Evapor Rust stuff here in New Zealand. Regards MachineNZ
Vinegar works just as well for a fraction of the $$$
Try at supercheap auto mate, they sell it over the ditch now, might be worth a look
Great video as I have a similar project coming up with making an LO spindle back plate for a 6 jaw chuck. A little too much high speed editing that you loose some of the content thats interesting to what.
Hi Dave, I don't know if it's intentional or not, but you might be on to something with the fast pacing of the video! Keeps it from being another boring 'cleaning and restoring' video! Love your video as always!
Most of the internals looked pretty ok. I cringed a bit when you were using the steel hammer, but I could see you were using fairly light taps. Still, that's where a brass or lead hammer would be better. I see some comments that you 'ruined' the chuck doing that. I seriously doubt that. I might have considered machining a new backing plate rather than modding that one as somebody else might have been able to use the original. It looked like it came out well though.
looks like a Pratt Burnerd. Good chucks. Should have made an Id locator to go around Od of of back plate. You should not have to grind jaws.
Nice video! I don't think you need to speed up so much of the machining though.
Very nice. Was it a L1 taper.?
great find, ($$$$)
great restoration,
thanks for the video segments speeded up :)
so when do you get a rotary table and DRO for drilling holes on a circle? :)
looking forward to the video on grinding the jaws
At that point you can say goodbye to any kind of tolerances. Would be a good chuck for anything else tho.
