I have been properly set straight that this is wrong, but it works in most
cases. In fact it works perfectly for the .050 throw called for in most of
Elmer Verburg's engine plans.
Shimming one jaw of a 3 jaw scroll chuck 1.5 X the required throw will get
you real close if not perfectly indicated to cut the throw.
In this case I used two 1mm thicknesses of brass (.078") and the
indicated run out was exactly .050"
It's 1/2 ounce of steel spinning 800RPM. Of course you wouldn't want to chuck
up a heavy part in such a way.
I hate indicating. If there's an easier way to get a perfect result, I'll use it!
