hi everyone!
im new to woodturning and have recently bought a 4 jaw independant chuck but i cant seem to get the nack of centering a piece.
Ive used the chuck on 1 peice of turning which was my first bowl attempt, i first used a paceplate to turn the base of the bowl and to which i turned a tenon. the bowl blank was not trued up before i did so then i turned the tenon.
i then carefully measured and used dividers/callipers to make it central only to find out that its not central when i go to turn the insed of the bowl.
i was just wondering if there is anyone out there any good tips/advice that could help me.
At the moment i cant affors a self centering chuck although it is on my list of things to get.
thanks for your time.
(sorry for long post)
