Your file job finishing the chuck flats epitomizes craftsmanship. Or at least that's a good example. Thanks so much.

Yes, going to be no more slipping there on that chuck, only thing you need to do is drill a hole at the bottom end, to hang it up next to the chuck on the wall.

Always amazing to see plasma cutters cut through 10mm plate like its butter

Well done John. Your plasma cutter has been a great addition to your shop.

Nice sponner ayr kid. Plasma table working well John.

I really don't understand why you don't use the holes and a C spanner, that's what those holes are for.

That'll put an end to dropping taps. That plasma table is a major asset to your shop. Looks like another job well done John.

Good Sunday evening! Great to see the new dog, has a pretty coat. Looking forward to watching him grow. Enjoyed the jobs! Thanks.

I guess I'm not the only one that hates keyless chucks 😂

I have one of those chucks on a drill press, been driving me nuts for ages. Going to mill some flats on it now and make a spanner. More robust and easier to make than a pin spanner, so you can whack it with a bbh (bl...y big 🔨).

good effort!

Nice work there John.

Thanks John

John I thought it was the law to put a bell end on all home made spanners?

What? no bell end on the custom spanner John? 8^) Just joking, nice job.

John you're just going to misplace it, just use a shifting key.

as per brill

That'll stop it farting in church.

LOL.....and they call those chucks keyless, I have to use 2 spanners to tighten them, one for the spindle and one for the chuck.........give me a Jacobs chuck any day.

Why not simply use a keyed chuck? It holds in both directions and you wouldn't need to make a tool.

I wonder how many times that spanner will go missing lol

It measured 46.3 mm AF, so why cut the spanner at 46 mm. It should have been cut 47 mm wide, and so all that unnecessary hand filing would have been avoided.

Just buy an albrech job done
