Horvath Eccentric Chuck

[RIMSPOKE]

THIS IS A WONDERFUL PIECE OF GERMAN ENGINEERING , THE HORVATH ECCENTRIC CHUCK .

IT HAS A SMALLER CHUCK OFFSET WITHIN A LARGER ONE .
THE LITTLE CHUCK IS MOUNTED OFF CENTER BY THE SAME AMOUNT THAT IT'S BASE IS .

THIS ALLOWS THE BASE TO BE INDEXED IN .005" INCRIMENTS TO DIAL AN OFFSET
FROM RUNNING TRUE TO 1.000" OFF CENTER .

OK , THAT's PRETTY COOL , BUT THE PART THAT AMAZES ME EVERY TIME I RUN THIS THING
IS THAT EVEN RUNNING AN INCH OFF CENTER , IT STILL RUNS BALANCED !

AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PLAY TOY THAT I AM BLESSED TO HAVE . JUST WANTED TO SHARE .

Ohh man!

This is getting worse by the moment. I told you that vise was cursed.
It has already started to populate your shop with more of it's cursed brethren.
Better send that chuck to me as well.
