    This.... Get yourself a four jaw and learn to indicate it in if you don't already know and that's about the most versatile setup for a lathe there is, in my opinion. I bang on the parts in the three jaw chuck to get the run-out out of it when need be but it's not good to bang on them allot

    I haven't used a 4 jaw chuck in years, but I seem to remember them being a pain in the arse. Unless I never really learned how to set them up(?)

    Few easy ways to do it probably some on YouTube

    I just use the concentric circles on body to get the jaws “close” then turn each screw 1 turn till work is clamped.
    Put indicator on it. (I prefer 9oclock facing the work)

    Spin by hand to get readings watching the high and low spots. Make sure you are “close enough “ to centered that u are not going outside the range of the indicator.

    Once I get the high and lows, I look at the #ed jaws and compare, if 1+4 high 2+3 are low, I would tighten 1+4 and loosen (if needed)2+3, swing again and recheck.
    (Hopefully u aren’t tired and move it the wrong way the first time-I’ve NEVER done that
    Repeat till centered.
    It is pretty easy once u do it a few times

    I've got a 4 jaw with it, but will invest in a nice 3 jaw when $ permits. I was looking at a bison chuck, but they're not cheap.

    This is a Taiwanese made Jet with hardened ways. The headstock casting where the tumbler lever pin goes in has a little chunk missing. It still functions fine, but is a little sloppy in the forward setting.

    It just needs a lot of cleaning and maintenance. It's more of a project right now than a tool.

    I'm sure all of our old lady's think this way.
