Hi Iconoscope - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Sounds like you'll fit in well here! What's next up on your project list? What can we help with?

Thanks for the welcome, Jon!!
My next project is to finish making a tool post grinder so that I can clean up the chuck jaws on my ancient South Bend lathe. The old 8" three jaw chuck has small but serious damage to the jaws that prevent proper centering of the work piece. Regrinding the jaws should correct most of the problem. Making a small cylinder to clamp in the jaws for this purpose will be a challenge as the jaws must protrude through slots cut into the cylinder. Those slots must be perfectly 120 degrees apart and of uniform width. Any thoughts on how that can be accomplished? I do have a rotary table.
