    This is very important so PAY ATTENTION!

    I knew a bloke who swore black & blue that a brand new Vicmarc chuck was out of wack 'cos it didn't run true on his lathe.
    He was using a big ugly thick lump of leather like a camel's knee with a hole hacked in it as a backing washer... when he removed the backing washer, surprise surprise, the chuck ran true.

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    Big enough. Mind you, kept the mash hammer away from it.

    I went to Bunnings and bought some fibre washers - they are body washers for outdoor taps. They do the trick.

    thanks for the tip
