Greetings; Trying to carve the toolpost support for the little monster, on the little monster. I had it lopsided in the chuck, roughly centered on the QC's bolt hole. But that meant the chuck jaws were turned around and I couldn't get to the bottom 9/16 of an inch because of flying jaws . I needed the cutaway down to perhaps 3mm of the carriage sled, so I wrote some gcode to cut the hollowed out curve. I was going to see if I could put it on the faceplate, but its a full 7" in diameter and hits the motor & electronics box on the back of the lathe.
So that was out. I put the 5" 4 jaw back on, w/o the jaws, putting a live center in the tailstock, I ran it out far enough to get some saddle movement room but left it pushing about 100lbs worth and ran a line of fresh superglue all the way around it.. Setting up the start-stop and done settings in my gcode, I had a good pressure on it, and had cleaned the face of the chuck with acetone, so superglue should have stuck it for a non-slip grip. Peeled it loose on the third touch of the tool. 3 times now, with longer setting times each time. If I can find it, I've some double stick tape, or does someone else have an even better idea? Thanks.
