9" South Bend lathe spider chuck
Hi folks.
I made this lathe spider chuck for my 9" South bend lathe. I think the idea is good but the chuck seems a bit stiff & doesn't quite clamp small enough for my needs. I may send it back & see if I can get a better working chuck & tighter closing on the chuck teeth.

I don't know quite how much you are short of closure, but shim stock of various thickness could come to the rescue!?!?

I already ordered another chuck, that from the photo's... appears to close near 100%
new chuck is in & I'm very pleased with it. it works exactly as I had hoped.
