2276 forum posts 801 photos | "How should i be loading these into the chuck?" Load the jaws in the normal sequence, starting with No 1 but skip the one with the missing tooth. eg. If the first spline on No2 is broken. Rotate the sctroll and engage No 1, then continue to No 2 but as it is broken keep going and engage No 3. When the start of the scroll comes back to No 2 position, you can engage the second spine. Paul. Edited By Paul Lousick on 25/05/2020 06:48:15 |

. Sorry to contradict Paul ... but it appears to be #3 that is damaged So, load #1 and #2 as normal, then do a full turn before loading #3 ... incidentally the next tooth on #3 looks to be bruised, so it may need cleaning-up before it will load. MichaelG. |
