[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1234381, member: 24284"] If you are a retired tool & die maker apply some of what you learned,,,,, buy a good back plate to fit the D1-4 spindle nose and "true" it to the machine before mounting a good 4 jaw chuck on it. If 'trued' correctly, the recess in the back of the chuck should be a 'snug' fit to the matching projection that you machined on to the back plate,,,,, self centering the chuck body to the spindle centerline. Witness mark the back plate to the spindle nose , so it goes on the same every time. Beats the daylights out of most direct mount chucks for "closer than" general machine work. [/QUOTE]
