What's the easiest means to centre part?Well, after years of looking, I eventually made one mine. Missed out on one about five years ago. Fell over this one less than two miles from home. Crazy how things pan out. Three jaw scroll chuck but with independently adjustable jaws to. Light surface rust. Unmolested so well happy . Landed up buying seven chucks in a joblot to get it, found a nice chuck for my cylindrical grinder, will move the rest on.

Depends where the part is running out in relation to the jawsWhat's the easiest means to centre part?
Measure the offset at the 3 jaws and set them to the average?
I thought it was a pizza ovenOrdered one of these to try.

Small propane furnace/forge. Went for the single rather than a double. Don't know how much use it'll see etc., so sense suggested trying the smaller unit first.
That was what I thought as wellI thought it was a pizza oven
Me too, though in my defence I did wonder about the insulation. Poor job I thoughtI thought it was a pizza oven

1 buzz boxmost on here im sure have got at least 2 welders of sorts and always contemplating a 3rd and for the amonut of time you have been on here 6 years or so you have not caught the tools bug as bad as most on here (some even have 3 of 1 item one of them new in a box just in case @MattF
3 x 9" grinders, the big ones ? Why ???1 buzz box
1 transformer based stick welder I'm going to modify to make an arc gouger
1 inverter stick welder
1 engine driven welder
4 or 5 soldering irons (three of them are Weller)
2 cutting torches
1 plasma cutter
3 9" grinders
1 7" grinder
I guess 6 or 7 5" grinders
I've given the point I might say.
I'm enough too far from an average hobbyist
some even have 3 of 1 item one of them new in a box just in case @MattF
3 x 9" grinders, the big ones ? Why ???
Like someone who would say.You must be confusing me with someone else.
All Mr. Sensible now?Don't know how much use it'll see etc., so sense suggested trying the smaller unit first.
All Mr. Sensible now?
At least he knows what he's got. I spotted a grinder in my dad's garage today and said it's the same as my one. He told me it is my one.3 x 9" grinders, the big ones ? Why ???
