Greetings wise ones
hopefully soon I will have this JET BD 920 N lathe out of your hair.
my confusion today is the chuck jaws do not square up. lathe was pre-loved probably more than once when I purchased it.
jaws are marked with what I believe is the correct location by stamped number.
I have juggled the jaws into different jaws and still same effect.
2 jaws will center up nicely with one always short of target.
not sure if it is always the same jaw not squared or if it is one slot out of wack..
jaws appear to be in good condition, and has been oiled and fairly clean. it mounts to spindle square and runs square.
OR
Am I not being a realist and my expectations are to high. would like to hold off on a new chuck for a little while until I return to work from medical leave.
I a wait your wisdom and guidance.
