To help DaveH be happy ## I figured I do something to show some machining. I think the last thing I did was the same thing, Only kind out of steel instead of stainless.
I had gotten this chuck from Jeff at Tools4Cheap prolly 3 years ago for the other 13" South Bend I was working on. But it was well worn so when I saw this one on E-Bay i got it for 610.00 and its in a lot better shape.
Before I left to go to Norfolk VA to pick it up I ordered a CXA tool post for it. I changed over the stuff I had rebuilt for the other one and added the taper attachment. I was just fooling around on it and decided to build a extra chuck key. The only thing I had big enough was some 308 Stainless Steel so I used that. Mite have to make another one to match.
Didn't think about pictures till I read what Dave had to say. Now I need some 3/8 S.S. Round.
