Hi
I've a Warco SB20-1 lathe which I'm new with admittedly .. it has a 3 jaw chuck with a problem.. when tightening the jaws two of them will line up together but there's always one that won't. I tried cleaning and oiling etc with no luck.. they are numbered and are in the correct slots, I tried winding them completely out and back in again but no! Obv like it is I can't centre my work which is a problem.. your advice would be appreciated, pics below showing 3 jaws tightened up together and the differences in the jaw positions which hopefully shows the problem.. the chuck has no name that I can see just a planet symbol..
Thanks
