Stupid 3 jaw issue

It will only be supid if you do not learnfrom it. I know someone that did the same:panic:And he feels a little better now.:whiteflag:

QUOTE=kg6bws;130473]Like an idiot, I didnt look up a how to first. I wanted to flip the jaws on my 3 jaw chuck and removed them the same as you flip the jaws on a 4 jaw. Now theyre way off. When 1 jaw gets to the center, #2 is maybe 1/16" off and #3 is maybe 1/8 to 1/4" off. How do I realign these? Thanks.

Edit - Think I just found where I screwed up. Going to go measure the jaws and move them around. I now know theyre out of order. Im guessing theyre different lengths to be able to work in the scroll and center themselves. Gonna go use the old trial and error method of fixing idiocy. LOL[/QUOTE]
 
I had a set of three jaw chuck with no marking. Marked them with a cutoff wheel. A center punch will also work with a dot for 1, 2 dots for 2 ; etc.
