I appreciate the fact that you know how to use files to cut down burrs and dress edges. Detail does matter. It demonstrates craftsmanship that isn't taught as it should today. AL B.
Just because I often hear creators wondering out loud weather viewers want to see as in depth as they are showing. I just wanted to throw in one vote for exactly how you're doing things. I really like the level of detail that you share with us, particularly the tools that you try and the ones that work for you. I feel like I get a lot of valuable knowledge even if I'm not working on the exact same things. Please, keep it up!
After doing your magic on it that chuck will truly be a work of art. I find 6-jaw chucks irresistible. They remind me of bank vault doors! Looking forward to part 2. I really enjoy your videos and the detail and care with which you explain what and why you are doing whatever is necessary. Thanks, Gary.
You have a wonderful piece of art here, looks like it has molylube that has kept this chuck in excellent condition, the little bit of rust is nothing, good buy!
Looks to be a really nice slim line chuck . That rubber abrasive thing interests me , i might have a look over here to see if there is something similar . 👍
I saw a parking attachment in the blast cabinet .. nice chuck. that chuck I just put copper jaw protectors on is a Cushman. it to is old and never used.
Some say "It's not what you know, it's who you know". In this case it's both, what to look out for, and who to visit, to have a chance of finding gems like this 6-jaw chuck
Good timing Gary! I just bought a Hardinge-Sjogren 5C Collet Chuck that came with an L-1 mount. My lathe is D1-4 so the new back plate is on order. This will be my third back plate installation, but always happy to see how a pro gets it done!!!
The Hardinge-Sjogren is assembled very tight. I'll be installing a couple of jack screws to help get it apart next time, both on the body and the back plate.
Very cool. I notice you’re using a dynamometer to weigh the piece. My neighbor has one in like new condition Dillon, I think, in the case with paperwork that measures up to 10,000lbs. If you think there is a market for it lmk. It hasn’t been calibrated for many years but also hasn’t been used, if ever.
I'm pretty sure you're my favorite content creator on UA-cam, but I'm ashamed to admit, on the episodes where we see your scrap yard, I burn with a jealousy I haven't experienced in years. Where I live, we're down to one sad small junkyard that will let you wander the aisles. All of the rest are worried about liability... It sucks! It's like the only kind of shopping I really enjoy.
And a Cushman yet ! Obviously you live right to come-up with a find like that, Gary ! I like that trick of an upside-down cutter to marginalize all that cast dust .... wish I had that option when I was turning a number of cast chuck mounts last winter. Question: Were you using that center drill to "pull" that workpiece into the transfer punch marks? I have always had problems accurately centering into a transfer punch mark ... obviously, I'm doing something wrong . See ya in Part 2 !

Beautiful piece of Old Iron. You and Chuck B. find the most amazing stuff.
Drive pin removal 👍👊💪 Damn why didn't I think of that years ago!

You know you didn't have to go through all that work. You could have just sent the chuck to me. LOL!

Love watching the little details.
Damn, I've never seen a 6 jaw cushman before! Cushman is my favorite brand.
That is a valuable chuck, nice tune up!

Wow! How sweet it is!
Nice! I learned a lot.

I'm stunned. I don't know how guys run across new old stock like this.

I don't see the four adjusting screws for centering the run-out.. are you going to modify or did I miss something?
Why don't you use industrial wedges?
What media did you blast with?

I need a L2 scroll chuck in the 10-14” size for a 16” swing lathe
Kinda rusty wasn't it?
