The Sherline Lathe is a good product...but the 3 jaw chuck is it's weak point. I've had enough of Hex stock working loose and jamming up the motor/cutting tool.
It only happens with Hexagonal rods...interrupted cut and vibrations throw the jaws outwards and boom! It happens no matter how tight the jaws are.
So...has anyone made an adapter and fitted a "proper" chuck?
