My Oneway stronghold chuck was delivered yesterday along with my Jet 1840 lathe. I am new and have never turned anything. I followed the instructions on installing the chuck by screwing until it contacts the spindle shoulder, then locking the spindle, unscrew the chuck slightly, then give it a firm spin. It came with the adapter on. When I tried to remove it I discovered that the screws were not installed in the adapter. The chuck just slide off the adapter, then I had a heck of a time getting the adapter off. Before I put the chuck back on I was wonder how hard it is to remove when the adapter is screwed in.
Also, it came without the set screws to lock the adapter to the spindle and cautioned that damage may occur it used. Should the set screws be used if I were to use the reverse for sanding etc.
Thanks for the help for what may be simple questions. I have joined a local club but the first meeting was canceled and in California it maybe some time before everything is back to normal.
