Some of you may have seen the pic I posted of the collet chuck I'm wanting to build for my Grizzly G0765 7x14 lathe. Well, I finally got started on it and have made a decent amount of progress the past couple of days. As most of you can probably relate to, the biggest challenge is keeping everything so it will run true. I've spent more time indicating in the chuck itself than actual cutting metal. But if I can keep it true, it will be worth it. I'm going to have to make a mock spindle to mount it to at "the place I've been working on it" so I can mount it in another collet chuck to taper and finish the bore. I'll try to keep up with pics as I go, but sometimes I get caught up in what I'm doing forget what I wanted to do, like take pictures.
Anyways, here are some pics of my progress so far, including the design again. Let me know what y'all think.
