A posted in another topic I'm just getting started in turning with my HF 12'' x 33-3/8''.
So far everything seems to be OK with the lathe, except for a very slight misalignment between the head and tail stock.
So, this question deals with the Nova G3-D (Delta) that I picked up at my Winston-Salem Woodworking Shop:
With the G3 chuck mounted as specified in the instruction sheet there is a very noticeable run out or wobble in the chuck. I have no way to measure the amount of the run out, but it's enough so that there is no doubt that it's doing it. Maybe even as much as a 32nd, or at least a 64th. When the drive spur is mounted that run out is not apparent.
So, is there some trick that I'm missing about the alignment of the chuck, so is it likely that it's a defective part?
Thanks... Ken.
