Installing Chuck

or Faceplate

To install a chuck/faceplate:

1.Disconnect the lathe/mill from the power source!

2.Insert the 3 mounting studs into the back of the chuck and tighten them down. If you are switching chucks, take the mounting studs out of the previously removed chuck and use them in the chuck you are going to install. Also, make sure that a chuck mounting nut is on each of the studs.

3.Make sure that the knurled lock plate is rotat- ed all the way toward the front of the lathe.

4.Insert the chuck into the spindle nose.

5.Rotate the knurled lock plate toward the back of the lathe until it stops. If the lock plate will NOT rotate more than a fraction of an inch, then the chuck is not completely inserted. Make sure the chuck is completely inserted so the lock plate can be rotated properly.

6.Hold the chuck/faceplate with your hand or a key. Using a 17mm wrench, snug the 3 chuck mounting nuts to the back of the knurled lock plate, then final tighten all 3 with even pressure.

7.Remove all wrenches and chuck keys from the chuck/spindle nose.

8.Move the lathe eyeshield down over the chuck before operating.

2.Make sure that the MT#2 dead center and tailstock barrel are clean and free of any dirt, dust, grease or oil. These parts will last longer and remain accurate when properly cleaned before each assembly. Morse tapers will not interlock when dirt or oil are present on the mounting surfaces.
