2020-01-25 15:35:20 +0000 UTCHmmmm, I have to agree about the chuck, that something is off by a tooth. If you look at the video from about 8:59-9:04, it appears that before disassembly, both jaws were protruding the same amount. There's also a great frame at around 9:23 that shows both jaws flush with the chuck body at the same time. I assume that center threaded part is a single-start thread? Did you try flipping it around 180 degrees?

2020-01-23 04:15:51 +0000 UTCI think you have assembled the chuck with one side off by a tooth. Reassembly trial and error will be painful, but rewarding. I also support your anti-orange movement!!

2020-01-23 03:00:36 +0000 UTC1. Restoring this beautifully conceived and constructed creature must be your reward for working on that horrible power hacksaw. 2. Loved hearing the grunts and comments as you two disassembled. 3. Yes, orange is bad. Thanks!

2020-01-23 02:59:40 +0000 UTCThat's what I thought too when I was putting it back together, but it would just always go back to looking like it is. One jaw was always the odd one out.

2020-01-23 02:47:27 +0000 UTCLooks like you may have the jaws out of time by one tooth on the chuck. It can be a pain to get a modern 6 or 3 jaw lined up sometimes that thing looks like a real bear.

2020-01-23 02:08:39 +0000 UTCWow! Nice job! How many RPM's do you think you got at full speed?
