4.Turn the other cams in the same way. Make sure to support the chuck with one hand as you align the last cam. The chuck may come off at this point, so it is important you are ready to support its weight.

5.Remove the chuck key.

—If the chuck is still tight on the spindle, tap the back of the chuck with a rubber or wood mallet while supporting the bottom of the chuck with your free hand.

—If the chuck does not immediately come off, rotate the spindle approximately 60˚ and tap again. Make sure all the marks on the cams and spindle are in proper alignment.

2.Place a piece of plywood across the lathe bed and position it just under the spindle.

3.Align the pins in the back of the chuck with the holes on the spindle face and insert the pins.

4.While supporting the weight of the chuck, turn one cam with the chuck key until the cam line is between the two V's on the spindle. Do not tighten at this time.

5.Rotate the spindle and repeat Step 4 on opposite cam.

6.Rotate the spindle and repeat Step 4 on the rest of the cams in an alternating manner.

7.When all cams are snug, return to the first cam and tighten the cam completely. Repeat this step with the rest of the cams.
