I had luck with the stuck chuck

I was so happy to get this chuck back plate off, I made a video detailing how I did it.

Had Some Luck with the Stuck Chuck

I don't think this back plate has ever been off of this 1942 Sebastian lathe. Removing it required EXEME measures.

That sucker was STUCK

I would have considered making chips out of the backplate and making a new one rather than risk damaging the rest of the lathe.

But, then I would have no lathe to make a backplate with. And the Sebastian is an odd-sized threaded spindle. Finding a pre-made one would be a hard ask.

Heat always seems to be the magic ingredient for situations like that

I had luck with the stuck chuck: Not only did you get er done, you were poetic in doing so.​

Was it a stuck buck chuck ?

Clean up that back plate before you put it back on - it looks fairly ratty, especially the last threads.

it would suck if you can't get the stuck buck chuck unstuck. you might have to put the stuck buck chuck on a truck and with luck Buck can de-stuck your stuck buck chuck.
