Congratulations on your self-gift chuck. The care with which you installed the chuck, lead to the absolutely astonishing accuracy of the install. May God bless you with many years of happiness using that chuck.
I treat myself to a Bison vice for my 67 birthday in October. It's really nice gear and it's not easy to get a Kurt here in the uk. Happy Birthday Keith.
Happy early birthday Keith, Well deserved gift to yourself. I was lucky to score a NOS still in original oil wrappings Bison Chuck a few years ago love it
Well happy birthday in advance. He he. I like your style. I buy myself some stuff for the workshop as well from time to time. Good stuff. Man that is a proper lathe. I’m sure she is going to love her present.
Olá amigo Keith, que maravilha de placa, sempre que possível ´é bom se presentear!!!Aproveito e deixo aqui meus parabéns pro amigo com muita saúde e sucesso sempre!!!
50 years ago you when you started you would have never guessed anywhere close to .160" . Thats what experience will do for you, .162" Not bad! I have seen you do this on other occasions. It's uncanny👍 The old Clausing will love you Keith. New hardware is alway a good reason for celebration. BTW happy early birthday
Happy Birthday Keith! MY 66th Birthday will be the 21st. I'm retired now, but I started my Engineering/Machining career in 1979 and every job I've had had "Engineer" in it! Sales Engineer to start, then Warranty Engineer, and a few just Engineer...
Not sure if you mentioned it, but for posterity, it's important that the inner faces of the back plate and chuck have clearance in them so that the chuck is only making contact on the register and outer flange. I only mention this because someone might have a cheap chinesium back plate with a lot of runout or you are making your own and it's easy to miss that you've taken a thou or 2 more off the register than the depth you have so you end up tightening up to the inner face instead.
There's something about lathes, watching them and listening to them. I only have a couple of hours on an engineering lathe. But a lot on wood lathes. They can tell you a lot about what's happening if you take notice.
You say you want a "new" 3 jaw chuck... are you MACHINIST enough to make it fit? Of course you are, you are half a century into your apprenticeship! YOU ARE A MASTER MACHINIST! Happy Birthday Sensei!
Happy Birthday Keith! That's a great chuck! I ordered a R8 collet chuck with my Precision Matthew's lathe last year December. Though I knew it was on backorder, PM was glad to take my money up front with no promise dates. I felt the chuck was at a fair price for the quality so I proceeded with the order. It just arrived last week!
I think Keith is setting himself up with a really nice retirement shop and is just getting it set up with all the good tooling for when he finally retires. Lol I hope it takes him quite awhile longer to finish upgrading!
hello I like this topic installing a new lathe chuck but when you said Bison it touched me that I also have one. It's our company from Poland. Very good product. From now on I'm proud of you that you work on our domestic products. translator
I have always favored Poland made tooling, wheel cutters and chucks are my most commons purchases. china has been chocking your contry out of a lot of suppliers here in the states, makes me sad, because they supply inferrior products. IMO...
At 3:41 . Every time I buy a quality tool that comes in a fancy box, I tell myself that I wish they would spend less on this fancy packaging and sell the tool cheaper.
I recently bought a Bison, Dickson T.2.T. toolpost for my new to me lathe plus a load of tool holders. I must admit to being very impressed by the quality. I think you will be very pleased with your new chuck.
Many happy returns from here downunder. Thanks heaps for this one. I think I’m going to try & copy your Chuck lifting “cradle” device, as this has inspired me to have a go, in order to make, 3 & 4 Jaw, and Collet Chuck swaps easier for me. Can I ask why you didn’t just use the lifting eye supplied with the Chuck? I’ll still need to make one because mine didn’t come with a lifting eye but just curious why you didn’t use yours is all. Can I also ask if you think the Pratt Burnered Collet Chucks are worth the $4.5K sh!tsvillian pacific micro pesos they ask for them down here or would a $500 Cheap & Cheerful Chinese one off Evilbay be good enough for a retired hobbyist like myself. $4.5k is half what I paid for the lathe new, it seems a little over the top to me. 🤷♂️ Much appreciated. 👍👍👍🇦🇺
The chuck registration diameter to backplate is up to the manufactures discretion. You can't mismatch chucks and backplates and expect them to fit. You buy the chuck and backplate as an assembly. Should have known that after 50 years?
Congratulations my friend.. Very nice job as usual and a well deserved "B" Day gift! Really nice talking with you today Keith, you really made my day! Based on our conversation, hopefully I will be able to come and visit you and your significant other in late spring, early summer! Until then, be well! Razor!
Very nice chuck it all you work with is high persision rounds. there are advantages to the three over the six when it comes to stick outs / abstract shapes on parts.
@@KeithFenner same as me Keith. I had a welding/machine shop early in life, then law enforcement for 30 years, retired 6 years ago and now welding/machine shop again for locals in my area. Much respect for you Keith

Happy Birthday Keith. Love the chuck. Someday would love to have a Bison and a better lathe to go with it. Thanks for sharing.
Whoever got you that birthday gift must be a wonderful person! Great job!
Did you actually listen to the video?
@@catabaticanabatic3800 You mean the part where he stated he bought them himself for his birthday? Do you understand humor?

Tis a beautiful thing and the indicator says she singings right on key. Happy early birthday Keith, I'm usually a day or two behind the curve.
Well I'll be dipped. A feller's B-Day! Happy Birthday Keith! God Bless! Nice presents!
Happy Birthday ! my 8” Bison 3 jaw was 2 hand fulls. Sure glad to see you use the Gantry & chainfalls. Your shop is making strides Kieth, 😉👍
You deserve the new chuck, after the years of machining!
Happy early Birthday Kieth!
Thanks for sharing
Got to love a precision tool. The shop got you a nice present.
Happy early birthday Keith,

С днем рождения Keith, в хороших руках отличная работа 0👍
Bison owes you something for that instruction manual for new chucks, and showing just how good it worked.
Zero runout makes Keith a happy boy.

Sweet!
You should only chuck on clean machined round stock in order to maintain the accuracy of the 3 jaw chuck scroll.
⭐🙂👍
Chucky reborn on Halloween!
Bisons are excellent chucks. they get damn expensive though!
Happy Birthday Keith!!
Bolt on top jaws and great accuracy that is a fine chuck! How is the face parallelisim?
Happy birthday Mr. Fenner. Trump for president. Greetings from Germany.
Not questioning the end result EVER! but, I maybe missed that they were already done.
Happy Birthday Keith!
2K for another 30 plus Years of use.... That's a Good Deal.
That comes out to about $67.00 a year for a new Bison chuck, you’re right, that is a really good deal.

Happy Birthday and many more 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎂🎉🎉🎉 Trump 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Happy Birthday Keith. Awesome birthday present to yourself!
Thanks for sharing 👍
When you search for buck chuck, it's right next to two buck chuck.... Coincidence?
reckon that chuck would half in price when trump gets back in next week?
Made in Poland
Tariffs might have an effect on that.
Happy Birthday Keith, NICE gifts for a half cetury machinist and his "Old Girl" big lathe!

Why didn't you counter sink (chamfer)the bolt holes on the back plate after facing it?
saw no need

It was not exactly in line with the keyway of the taper.
@ Actually I did notice that and wondered if that was why. Thanks heaps for confirming.

Just like I said in the video! LOL! was making a point!
don't like his sign I suppose. if you would have listened at the start he made that clear. WOW
@@paulb3095 Sign is correct. My point was, why would you buy from two different manufacturers in the first place!
@@hmh-jv6rn ok sorry my bad.
so is it avny coinsadece that election day is so close to your B day hopfuly that will make america strong again

Happy Birthday Keith. Mine is 11/14 when is yours?
I’m 11/14, but the other number is 1951. Happy early Birthday!
15th
My mum is. 13 Nov 1932, loves Trump.
Mine is 24 Nov 1952, love Kamala.
You’re supposed to listen to your mother, lol. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions though.
Have a good one!
Is there anything wrong with drilling a hole in chuck and putting eye bolt in for lifting? Out of balance maybe
I have done that as well. once you have lifting gig like I made, never think twice.
Excellent. You deserve it Keith. The zero runout was just the icing on the birthday cake.
Congratulations my friend..
Very nice job as usual and a well deserved "B" Day gift!
Really nice talking with you today Keith, you really made my day! Based on our conversation, hopefully I will be able to come and visit you and your significant other in late spring, early summer!

Like it, that chuck is true.
So Keith, why a three jaw, rather than your beloved four jaws ?
You need both as well as a dog plate and a face plate, for any lathe, they all have their purposes.
What about a 6 jaw, it seems like a number of machinists are switching to one of those? Any thoughts.
Very nice chuck it all you work with is high persision rounds. there are advantages to the three over the six when it comes to stick outs / abstract shapes on parts.
Happy Happy Birthday Keith !!! :)
congratulations Keith
