You still got it. Pm sentThey are a lump!View attachment 158036
I got this along with a job lot of goodies a while ago.
The way oil is nice but as you say tends to ring off. I will have a look at the chainsaw chain oil.Looks like these taylor chucks are like buses!
Back to the restoration, I use chainsaw chain oil on my chucks. The anti-fling additive helps stop it flying off the chuck when you start the lathe. I apply it with a brush & on the outside I remove the excess with a cloth.

I will go get some today.It's certainly very 'clingy'
Carrying on from the 8.5 three jaw I am now doing the four jaw. In great condition. It's been degreased and cleaned. Tomorrow I hopefully should have it built.
Indeed mate it is.It's very satisfying, isn't it.
And the scroll form is twice as strongIt is in effect conical. The scroll is cone shaped and the jaws are drawn into the chuck, as they tighten, providing a much higher gripping force than with a conventional flat scroll.
I like a machine (70ton of them) but im getting the feeling you're a bit unwellIndeed mate it is.
It did cross my mind on the three jaw. May well do when it's up and running.They look nice Spencer.
I wouldn't be able to help myself - I would HAVE to pull the jaws and re-face the flats and re-punch the numbers
