- In this video, I make a intermediary plate to go between my new 4 Jaw Chuck (not impressed), and both my rotary tables.
Lots going on in this one!

Ok Jon..... so far, so good..... but i am afraid of, how do you Know that i bought a rotary Table, ..... that i need a Adapter-plate for.... and that i enjoy my morning coffe during a search of Videos to make one.......
Made my day!!!!!!
Hi Chris, thanks for the comment. I am watching you........... Spooky lol. The bung method works really well and also provides additional clamping by way of the centre threaded hole working like a T Nut, pulling up onto the back of the plate. Cheers, Jon
Hi Jon
Great Job
I knew you couldn't leave the workshop tooling alone for long!!!!
see you next time
Take Care

Hi Kev, thanks for the comment. Lol, you know me too well. I replied to your comment last week ref stickers but it didn't go up for some reason. Couldn't find any email address on your "about" tab. Drop me an email and I'll get back to you. Cheers, Jon
Morning Jon. working through your back catalog of episodes. LOL - you made me spit my coffee through my nose with your "2nd only to Pratt and Burnerd" comment. That was very funny. That was followed by your review of quality sign-off process. Very clever.
Great project. Very nice to hear your M300 give a little light grumble as your cut went a little deeper. Mine makes the same - very satisfying sound of effort.
Nice final fit. You can't fake the sound a good fit makes.
All the best

Hi Dan, thanks for the comment. Lol, interesting that all the different roles that signed the quality document all had the same handwriting and used the same pen, bloody efficient lot aren't they lol. Cheers, Jon
Nice job. We shared this video in our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Thanks for the comment and the share, much appreciated. Cheers, Jon
I just had to laugh at the pcd dimensions !!! Good catch there . That's why i did multiple checks on the one for my tailstock chuck back plate !
Hi Max, thanks for the comment. Lol, you gotta laugh. The best bit was, the Director, Chief of Quality and inspector, all had exactly the same handwriting and pen! How efficient! Lol. Cheers, Jon
Nice work Jon and good idea.
Hi Kevin, thanks for the comment. Cheers, Jon
hello Jon,thanks for sharing ,great idea with the bungles an additional clamp keep the videos coming subscribed an liked
Hi Ray, thanks for the comment and the Sub. Welcome to the channel, I hope you find the content interesting and useful. Cheers, Jon
Great Jon. I like the bung idea for centreing the chuck. I also really liked the use of the parting tool to generate the second reduced diameter.
I learn something from you every time.
Hi Carl, thanks for the comment. Yes, the bung idea works well, it also doubles up as additional clamping if you need it via the tapped hole, works like a T Nut, pulling up onto the back face of the plate. Cheers, Jon
Personally Seeing as you centre drilled the work piece I would have used a blot in the centre and that would leave the side and face to be worked on IMO. You did a really great job.
Thanks for the comment and feedback, much appreciated. Cheers, Jon
That should work very well thanks for the video Nice job
Hi Frank, thanks for the comment and feedback. Much appreciated. Cheers, Jon
Hey Jon.
Always best to have a Good sense of humor about things that are not to spec.
Great little project to make life a little easier in the shop 👍
Nice size Rotary Table too.
Something I Need to consider, instead of lugging my 10 inch Rotary Table onto my Mill with a 3 Jaw Chuck attached 🙄
I guess you can't have everything ??
Hi, thanks for the comment. Yep, you certainly need to have a laugh in this modern world! I treat everything that comes from there as a kit of parts, they can always be improved. I know what you mean, I have a 10 inch RT too, not light to throw around. Cheers, Jon
Always improving something 👍😎👍. Merry Christmas 🎄 Jon
Hi Joel, thanks for the comment. Yup. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Cheers, Jon
Enjoyed the video Jon! 👍
Merry Christmas to You and Mrs Jon. 😃🌲
Hi Tony, thanks for the comment. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Cheers, Jon
Great content as usual Jon.
Hi Stevie, thanks for the comment and support, much appreciated. Cheers, Jon
Well done mate. You’ll be able to make backing plates for us all as we need them now you’ve figured out how to beat the Chinese Engineering hole puzzle, lol. Thanks for the video.
Hi Mark, thanks for the comment. Lol, well that's 2 of us already in the comments section that has a Jon's Workshop rotary table adapter plate lol. Loving the finger puzzle parody! Cheers, Jon
Morning Jon, yet another fine piece of work, Merry Christmas o you and Mrs Jon’s workshop 👴🏻👍
Hi Terry, thanks for the comment and feedback. Merry Christmas to you both. Keep your eyes peeled on Christmas eve, special video coming (hopefully). Cheers, Jon
Brilliant 👍. I think they made that chuck with the same kind of tools they keep sending me!
Hi Gary, thanks for the comment. Lol, it always reminds me of Forest Gump when I buy anything from there, "you never know what you are going to get next". Lol. Cheers, Jon
Excellent job Jon, great video, keep'um coming.
Hi Kentucky Trapper, thanks for the comment and feedback, much appreciated. Cheers, Jon
May be that the different pcd was one is metric and the other is imperial. lol. That would explain the East meets West caper. I do like the concept of multi fit and that can be applied to other devices as you choose to do so as in the chuck can be adapted/ fitted to other applications with a minimum of fuss. Merry Christmas, John, Australia.
Hi John, thanks for the comment. Yes, I totally agree, especially in a small shop, you need to make everything as multi use as you can to try and save some space. Merry Christmas to you and yours. Cheers, Jon
Nice one Jon, good design and well executed thanks for sharing buddy 👍
Hi Ralfy, thanks for the comment and support, much appreciated. Cheers, Jon
Thanks for another interesting video Jon. Happy Christmas to you and your family and of course West.
Hi Stephen, thanks for the comment and support. Merry Christmas to you and yours also, keep your eyes peeled for Christmas Eve, special video coming (hopefully). Cheers, Jon
Very good Jon. I heard the Quality Inspector was having a really bad day when your chuck was made.
Hi Dean, thanks for the comment. I think the whole company were judging by the booklet lol, strangely, they all had the exact same handwriting and pen, how's that for efficiency lol. Cheers, Jon
Hi Jon! To mount a 4 jaw chuck on a rotary table with four slots I just drilled 4 holes through the chuck and clamp it with 4 screws. Well - OK - I have to center it with a dial indicator, but whaddaf... it works.
Hi Dieter, thanks for the comment and nice to hear from you, I hope you're well (and the boss). That would work, good idea, never seen that done but it makes sense. Cheers, Jon
@@jonsworkshop Hi Jon! Thank you, of course we're fine, old weeds won't go away ;-)
Well, I admit it wasn't my idea :-(
My Forkardt chuck is front-mounted and I thought that it should work with others too.
So I marked the pitch circle of the thread on the front of the chuck. Drilled through from the front, countersunk so that Allen screws fit in and on the underside you only need the matching T-nuts.
But the only problem is it only works with a 4-jaw chuck on rotary tables with 4 slots or with a three-jaw chuck on three-slot tables.
It doesn't work out with the hole circles.
Except: with a three-jaw chuck you sacrifice a fastening thread that you drill through, then it would also have to work with a three-jaw chuck on a three-groove table.
At least I think so. . .
So, if you only use the three-jaw chuck on the rotary-table, then that should work too.
Above all: on my small milling machine I gain about 15 mm in height because I don't have to insert an intermediate flange.
Maybe I'll try to turn some material off the back of the chuck. It is only mounted on the turntable and not on the lathe, so it would be meaningless.
Greetings: Dieter
nice job.
make x-mess great again.
cheers from hamburg
Matthias
Hi Matthias, thanks for the comment, much appreciated. Cheers, Jon
Gday Jon, great idea having the bung to align the backplate, I think I’ll end up modifying mine to be the same, it’s amazing how the handwriting in the booklet is similar to each supervisor😉, great job mate, Cheers
Hi Matty, thanks for the comment. Lol, yep, full of authenticity! Same pen, same writing, same guy with 3mm chopped off the end of his rule lol. The centre bung is useful, you can use the centre threaded hole as additional clamping as it pulls up on the back face of the chuck like a T Nut. Cheers, Jon
Hello Jon,
Good work... another job ticked off your to do list I am sure...
Take care.
Paul,,
Hi Paul, thanks for the comment. Lol, yep, I lost the list, it just got stupidly long so I ditched it. Make to order is the new to do list me thinks! Cheers, Jon
I think I had some stuff that that same quality team had signed off when they worked in their old jobs at the electronics factory ;-)
On another note, I am enjoying reading some of my Dad’s old books - Workshop Technology Part 1-3 from the ‘40’s, ‘50’s and ‘60s when some of your older machines were the latest tech! Brilliant stuff, TCT was literally cutting edge technology then.
Happy Holidays. I have a few of those finely tuned precision instruments as well. I think the tolerances must have plus/minus 12mm on mine!
Hi mchiodox, thanks for the comment. Ha Haa, they certainly know how to set us a challenge lol. Cheers, Jon
You really did have me going there Jon, I thought you had splashed out haha! Nice bit of machining there Dude, part looked great. Stay safe n have a Very Merry thingy🍻
Hi Graeme, thanks for the comment. Lol, I did splash out (live in Scotland lol). Same to you matey, keep your eyes peeled for Christmas Eve, special video coming (hopefully). Cheers, Jon
@@jonsworkshop Haha yeah, forgot you guys are frugal! GB :)
And a merry Xmas to you and family !
And to you Robert, best wishes. Cheers, Jon
Great time saver the bung Jon. Looks like Mr Wong was the quality control chuck inspector. Apparently all the production team members are top Rankers in their fields. Yours chuck must have been the Friday afternoon one. You sorted it Jon and it works weely good. Tony
Hi Tony, lol, there are so many puns in there lol. Kit of parts mate, still cheap even with the additional work required, can't buy the raw materials over here for the same price. Sad state of affairs really but is what it is I suppose. Cheers, Jon
Hi Jon,nicely made!Jealous on your variety of rotary tables...hope to get a medium quality(150 mm vertex)this winter.Bit worrying that a chuck can have so many ,,inaccuracies,, .You have to try hard to get it like that if you set out do do so!
Hi Robert, thanks for the comment, hope you're well. It's nice to have a choice, I remember a few months ago thinking I would probably not get one in 2021, and I now have two, the smaller one is an absolute peach. Vertex are pretty good, go for it! Cheers, Jon
Enjoyed video alot sir, but you ended up with some of that high quality Chieseium there😂😂😂 Don't feel bad we've ended up with more than our fair share of it as well, Think all their "inspectors" are blind🤔🤔🤔🤔
Hi Honeycutt, thanks for the comment. Lol, they certainly keep you on your toes. I treat everything from over there as a kit of parts, this way you are never disappointed lol. Cheers, Jon
Great job. You are very informative about what you are doing. I live in Thailand and I am waiting to build my little workshop but can't think of any projects to do! Any ideas?
Hi dermott, thanks for the comment and feedback. Much appreciated. Difficult for me to suggest projects as I have no idea what tools or area you have to work with unfortunately. My advice would be, start very small and work up as you gradually buy equipment, there are lots of things to be made with a vice, a file and a saw, search hand metalwork or similar on YT. Cheers, Jon
Another well put together and executed video Jon. You'll soon have these chuck adapter plates off pat. Yours was a bit less fiddly than mine but still came out well. Nice piece of work, pity about the chuck quality.
Hi Del, thanks for the comment and your support. Yep, they are getting easier lol. Funny how much faster I made this one when it was my material I would have scrapped lol. Keep your eyes peeled for Christmas Eve, special video coming (hopefully). Cheers, Jon
Hi Jon,
Another very good video, shame the quality of the chuck does not match your excellent work!;. Sorry to see you have been burgled, did they only take the insulation off the garage door??
Happy Christmas to you, and Mrs Jons Workshop. Hope you get lots of goodies left under the tree.
Hi Gary, thanks for the comment and kind feedback. Lol, well spotted, using up some older footage, need to sack my continuity producer.......... Oh wait, that's me! Merry Christmas to you and yours. Cheers, Jon
Hi Jon, I see from the lathe background that you made this a couple of Months back or so. How do I know, because your garage door is un insulated in this video. LOL HMM, high quality Chinese Chuck !!!! equivalent to a Pratt and Burnerd, I THINK NOT, good luck finding out though LOL. Merry Christmas and stay SAFE PLEASE. Regards from Australia.
Hi Dave, thanks for the comment. Well spotted, I must have a word with my continuity producer............ Oh wait, that's me! Did some rudimentary checks after assembly, I think this will be heading towards the grinder at some point lol. Merry Christmas mate. Cheers, Jon
Nicely done John, good job. Can I ask you please what chemical blackening system you have used and if you are pleased with it ?
Hi Donald, thanks for the comment and feedback. I use Black OX from Caswell Europe and am very happy with it. If you check out my 'Making clamps for the mill vice part 1' video, I show the bottle and the process. Hope this helps. Cheers, Jon
@@jonsworkshop Thank you for the info, I'll check it out. I have noticed in one or two of your videos that I think you say you are in Scotland, I wonder what area you are in. I live in South West Scotland, Galloway.
@@donaldjsm8855 hi Donald, I am fairly close to you, about 40 mins as the crow flies, send me an email and we can catch up sometime. Cheers, Jon
Or customer service ????
Does manufacturer know what quality that is anymore ????
Hi Frank, not at these prices, couldn't even get the raw materials in the UK for what I paid for this so it's hardly surprising really. Kit of parts, an expression I use a lot with Import stuff. Cheers, Jon
Wow I thought Japanese stuff, an Asian country, are top tier product. I guess not
Hi, thanks for the comment. Lol, I wish I could afford Japanese stuff (or German), unfortunately not, so Chinese it is and then it's up to me to make it as good as I need it. Cheers, Jon
