I have been following the board for a while, and after finally posting a question on trueing a lathe chuck of mine... I must say thanks, I have read a little lite hearted ribbing from time to time, but NO full blown cyber attacks against anyone. Seems most everyone on here is interested in being a part of the "team", if you will, and not slamming each other in order to take out the dailly frustrations of life. Truly nice to find!
By the way... Thanks for the help with truing the chuck! I ended up placing a 2" od stone in the tail stock, setting the jaws to where they just touched it, spinning it at 2100 rpm's and VERY SLOWELY taking the stone into the through bore. It is now within .0005 and I am much happier.
FYI... I use my heavy tools for R&D work on various Mountian Rescue technical parts and have a wee bit of knowledge in getting around odd obstacles with metal working. I'll be happy to put my 2 cents worth in where I can help also.
Thanks again!
