Needed to switch over to the 4-jaw chuck on the lathe. After getting it all cleaned up and mounted on the lathe spindle, I went to grab the chuck key and couldn't find it. Did my target search pattern 4 times and found a handful of 3/8" chuck keys but the 7/16" key for the 4-jaw up and disappeared.
So I had to make one instead. Two actually (front & center). Figured while I was at it, I might as well make a shorty too for working two jaws together to save time.
Thanks for posting about the 7/8" 4140 HT rounds in the "fire sale" last year Ed! I made good use of some of it today...
