No, I'm still waiting on my drill chuck from Grizzly. It was out of stock. I did try turning a cone on a bolt though, nothing to it. But as soon as I have that drill chuck I'm going to start with my other project first – a nozzle for an oil burner.

Ok, just checking. I wanted to make sure you weren't stuck on something and in need of help.

Excellent Scott, how did it turn out? Can you post a picture or two? I'd especially like to see how you used a dowel in place of the set screw. 

Also, we've been calling you "Scott" on this and other posts even though your member name is "scotbren" with one "T". Which is correct?

Finally made one of these. It's not as pretty as I'd like but it does work and I've made something other than scrap:)

Good to hear Steve! You'll use it a lot. It's one of my most-used tools that I made myself. Really handy to have around. Pictures?

I'm in school learning manual machining for lathe & vertical mill working right now and am browsing prints for projects.  This one looks pretty simple & fun & like something I'll be able to use throughout my whole career. Unfortunately when I try to view them it says the file is damaged.  I looked through the forum & none of the advice worked.

 

Any other tips?Confused

You probably have an outdated version of Adobe Reader. The file is fine (not corrupted). Try downloading it on a different machine with an updated version of Adobe, or update the version on your existing machine. It's an excellent beginner project. I use mine all the time.
