made this out of an old live center , Chuck is 0-5/8, jt3 ,5/8straight arbor .
It turns smooth no noticeable run out,


Should work good

Very nice, I have been meaning to make one such as that (just so many projects).

I have a bunch of Albrecht and Jacobs chucks this one covers 0-5/8 and is as short as Jacobs
The live center got new thrust bearings 5/8id ,it had some rust but not on working surfaces

That would work well for armature commutator turning.

Other then using it for armature commutator turning, as mentioned above, what type of projects would it be used for? I have a 2" 3 jaw chuck that mounts in my tail stock that I have yet to use.

Any size shaft that fits in it , if you don't want a center hole

I knew there had to be in obvious answer or two. Sometimes when I over think things I miss the simple answer. Thanks
