Hi guys, I am new to this "round stuff". I bought a small Rikon lathe last year. Haven't used it yet, as I just took a pen making class a few weeks ago (lots of fun). I am now in the process of getting some accessories for the lathe. I just purchased a Nova G3 chuck and a set of pen plus jaws so I can drill pen blanks on the lathe. I mounted the chuck on the lathe (with the 50mm jaws that came with the chuck). I noticed a small amount of wobble on the chuck. I can't measure how much runout as I don't have a dial indicataor that I can mount to the lathe. As I said it is a small amount, but it can be seen by eye. Is that OK or should the chuck spin without any runout at all? Thanks for your help.
Dick
