I have a 66 b and s micromaster 618. It has the original chuck on it. My issue is the chuck has deep depressions around the brass field separators. I believe this was common to put those brass separators below the chuck surface years ago as many have them.
The problem arrises when you try to get the chuck perfectly clean. It us super hard to get it clean when there is those places for grit to hide. I wanted to know if I could mill that maybe 0.050 off the chuck then grind it in.
It seems all the newer chucks have the brass separations flat with the top. I just don't know if I will hurt something.
Picture below to show the chuck.
Thanks
