1941 South Bend 13″ Lathe Restoration – Part 3 – Three Jaw Chuck


In this short video, I tackle cleaning and reassembling the 3 jaw chuck. This is a Westcott chuck, that thankfully was modified to come apart easier, but doesn’t look like anyone ever did. There was so much greasy gunked up swarf inside this chuck, I am surprised it even opened or closed.
