Ok! We are getting somewhere now!! I made it home for one day before heading out for another week or so and I just HAD to take that 3 jaw apart. Man was it full of gritty grease and chips! There were even chips between the chuck and mounting plate! I cleaned everything up, checked for obvious wear as instructed above (found none) regressed and put it back on. I turned a piece of stock between centers the other day and when I chuck it in the 3 jaw now I get very little runout. I have a video of it running I will try to post. Looks much better. How often should I be needing to clean that chuck in that manner?
Thanks again
