Are the cap screws not just there to retain the cams rather than to stop them rotating? Or maybe I am misunderstanding what you are meaning.
"One of the cams does index at the unlocked position" do you mean you can't turn the cam to lock it? If so look at the chuck pin (A below), take the cap screw out that is next to it (B) and turn one revolution out, try that, if it now locks properly put the cap screw back in (this locks the chuck pin in place).
On my lathe they also have a sprung-loaded hardened pin that indexes the cam in the open position for removing the chuck.
You sure ? you both sound like you are describing the same thing!I'll bow out then as mine is a D1-3 and doesn't do that.
what do you mean by indexing paul?I'm referring to Petes quote below - one will index in the open position, the other two don't.
I'm referring to the square drives on the nose, not the pins on the back of the chuck
what do you mean by indexing paul?
Ah I see now. Pretty sure mine does not have springs and detents.When you turn the cam screw with the square head key you feel the screw 'click' into the open position. Like a detent dropping into place.
