Re: Rotary table 3-Jaw chuck mount?

Lee,

Jon is correct, but if all ya have is a rotary...

two quick thoughts:

1)make an adapter for the chuck fits the chuck mount on one side (you
didn't tell us what kind of chuck mount it is) and flat to mount with
the rotary table slots on the other (upside down TEE shape)
2) If the chuck is small relative to the rotary, clamp it to the
rotary just like a workpiece...

You "could" make an MT to chuck adapter, but it would n't be my first
or second choice.

Hope this helps.
