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.
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 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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hello, I just noticed since you moved you picked up a new lathe machine, That is the kind, I have it is a ucinu, I do not have a model number I do have the gear pattern but no numbers on the gears for threading. Ways into pattern 5 1/2 inches or will your putting it on a different lathe machine.
Did I miss it or is there no shoulder on the back plate to hold it true? I don't think the screws will hold it true and won't be repeatable if the back is removed. I would add a tight fitting shoulder or three slight press fit dowel pins (drilled assembled).
With an adjustible chuck centering is most likely done by adjusting the taper pins. Notice he used flat head screws to atttach the old back plate to the new drive flange with witness marks. Antiseeze and torque evenly.
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.
A six jaw came with my Grizzly 4003. (Well, its actually a Central Machinery, but its the same one). Its a little rusty, but I think its probably in good shape too. I don't have a clue as to how to use one, but hey - I negotiated the best I could to get all I could get.
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.
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!
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.

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.
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!
Cool, a restoration.........
Gonna put it in this rubber bucket...
Wait a minute, MUST HAVE ! gotta find that bucket now!!!
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 :)
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
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.
Good to see you doing cool stuff again Dale ...hopefully you can stay put in this shop for a good while.
Nicely done Dale!
Thanks Dale. I can't believe how nice that turned out after seeing what you started with. Great job, nice addition.
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.

I've been smacking my chucks and vises with an old chunk of copper for 30 years - they continue to work just fine.
i regularly use it! thank for share!
i like Restoration
I agree, glad you're back Dale
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.
So glad to,see,you back making videos again. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video, Great energy. Loved it.
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!
Chuck looks amazing
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!
very good work
Hi Dale. Nice six jaw. Great save
Thanks Dale, well done.
have missed you videos, hope your back in the groove
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
Great job mister.
enjoyed as always
Beautiful work.
Awesome Dale, great to see you back and great project. Looking forward to the next stage. Kindest regards. Joe.
*_Love That Thumbnail!!_*
Well done!

Es la primera vez que miro un Chuck con seis muelas de ajuste...
Felicitaciones.
I'm really suprized you don't hammer with a brass /lead something softer than steel.
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'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!
Look forward to seeing seeing the next one
Please explain more what you are doing and how. Thanks
Great job!
Am surely looking forward to seeing you grind in the jaws! Thank you.
Nice hammer!

man master of his craft
Great video. Love the shot with the natural sunlight. You must love your new workshop. Cheers! : )
welcome back!! great video, cant wait to see teh next!!
Nice work
Your video editing is fantastic man. I like how quickly the scenes go
Always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Awesome video
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.
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
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.
I want to teach me, I love this work passionately and you are skilled
Good Job
Wow amazing derusting agent.
Loved the video very infornative.
Love restorations
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 need that backing plate!
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.
6:28 Tasty chuck key you got there 😉
Evapo rust did an amazing job
I am glad You didn't hit it with a hammer 😂 great video as always 👍

TIG torch, the best easy-out in the shop👍
Great video! What advantages do the 6 jaw have over the 4 jaw chucks?
Great job👍 Hello from Ukraine
Hi from San Francisco 😀
So when do we get to see the new shop tour and new purchases? Great video Dale
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.

Where can I get one of those rubber collapsible buckets...???
Awesome!
I subbed pretty cool Restorations that you do and you give good tips on Machining
Hello, I just noticed since you moved you picked up a new lathe machine, That is the kind, I have it is a ucinu, I do not have a model number I do have the gear pattern but no numbers on the gears for threading. Ways into pattern 5 1/2 inches or will your putting it on a different lathe machine.
Where has this guy gone?

Never seen a rubber bucket like that before.
Did I miss something? What happened with the tapered pins?
sweet mother was that a surface plate? that thing was enormous!
Thanks, You should check out my video that shows the build.
Dont you think it is time to have CNC lathe and Milling machine in your shop?
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.
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.
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
Enjoyed. Thanks.
Lathe chuck holding a lathe chuck; how perverse! ;o)
not bad,I use 6 jaw chuck like 2 jaw chuck selfcentering,this one looks like new!!
I don't use any grease in my chucks. Few years ago someone told me that chuck should be dry inside due to small chips.
wtf lol
the better the quality of the grease and amount. the more clamping power you can make
or are you joking?
A six jaw came with my Grizzly 4003. (Well, its actually a Central Machinery, but its the same one). Its a little rusty, but I think its probably in good shape too. I don't have a clue as to how to use one, but hey - I negotiated the best I could to get all I could get.
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.
Great 👍 job love ❤️ your videos your almost there at 💯 thousand subscribers.from Canada 🇨🇦 Tony
Love your video's ps. Where did you get your apron.
A friend gave it to me. Its the same one Tom lipton has. Sorry I can’t remember the name. And Im not in my shop right now.
When I saw the circular badge space on the front I immediately thought it was a Pratt Burnerd but now think it may be a Bison. Which is a copy of it?
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 cant Believe you hit it with a auto body hammer in my 23 years in the trade i've never seen that
Hey Dale, this video is a little old already, but is that a L0 backing plate? If so I may be interested in it (if you still have it!) - lemme know!
haha, should've watched that video to the end before commenting .. disregard the above!
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! 👎🏽
