I'd like to be able to put my 10" & 12" A (not sure which one, but short tapered nose, four bolts) series 3 & 4 jaw chucks on my 10" Phase II rotary table for doing bolt holes, gears; I don't happen to have any smaller chucks. The center of the table has a MT2 taper I believe, which might serve to indicate where the center is but isn't strong enough to coerce the chuck into the right position, even sitting free on the table. I guess the 4 jaw doesn't need to be centered - only the work held by the chuck does - but since many things that need bolt patterns are already round, I could save some time by using the 3 jaw.
Any pointers or ideas- or does everyone use DROs for bolt circles now? It sure seems handy to be able to use a chuck on a rotary table...
