Hi All,
I managed to pick this 5C collet chuck up for a really good price!
![[Image: P1020926.jpg]](http://i926.photobucket.com/albums/ad107/LazyLathe/P1020926.jpg)
It all works very smoothly and is made by a machinist from castings.
There are two issues i have with it is: the bore is not very smooth.

And it has a slight runout.
Is there a way to hone it on the lathe to get it smoother and to lessen the runout?
Apart from those two issues it seems to be very well made!
