How to smooth a 5C Collet bore?
#1
Hi All,

I managed to pick this 5C collet chuck up for a really good price!

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!
