Hi,
I'm a new turner, and in fact, have only turned 1 bowl on someone else's lathe.
I've purchased a Delta 46-460, a nova 1" 8tpi insert and a reconditioned supernova 2 from the manufacturer.
just received the chuck and insert this week, and when placed on the lathe, there is a wobble. at first, i thought it was maybe just my imagination, but when holding the allen key to the chuck, resting the key on the tool rest, there is definitely a wobble, as the chuck is making and breaking contact as it rotates, with the key absolutely steady.
it isn't the spindle, as with the faceplate on the lathe, it runs as true as can be.
i've been researching, and it would seem some have found that by shortening the insert, so the shoulder of the insert rests against the chuck, it fixes the problem.
has anyone here experienced this problem or know a solution?
thanks
