It could certainly be done. But anytime you use a 3 jaw chuck, you can introduce run out when changing the setup. You need independent jaws to truly get rid of it. This would get you close, though. Whether or not the tolerance is close enough to dissuade you form investing in a 4 jaw would up to you. I guess it depends on where the tolerances lie. If it's like, +/- .0005", I would consider that negligible. If it's introducing .001" or more of runout, that's another matter. Of course, I'm just a poor bum with no lathe (yet), so it's all purely speculative from my end. I'm just a bum off the street, all self taught. So what do I know. My gauge was not moving in the .001" range. I didn't see it move. It was the same reading as when I turned it. Take it for what it's worth, after all I cut Aluminum with a chop Saw. LOL

Looks good to me!
Is that how you made the wheels that placed your car 4th at the Guinness race?
If you think your focusing skills are bad... you should try being me for a day...
Can't focus for more than 5 seconds at a clip.
Thanks for posting these!

I was messing around after and used too short a screw and tightened it too much and broke off the projection piece, so I'll need to make another one.

I finally got around to making another mandrel for making Fat Wheel bearing wheels after I broke my other one. I finished the projection that the hub slides onto with high speed steel and at higher speeds. I think the finish turned out nice.
