Hi guys,
I really need some help getting my chuck unstuck from my lathe. I've done some searching, but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I had a really large piece of wood on my chuck and didn't realize that I hadn't threaded my chuck on all of the way before starting it up. Well that was a lesson learned. This chuck is really really stuck.
I have a Delta 46-460 with a Barracuda2 chuck from PSI. I tried putting a large bar in the chuck jaws and locking the spindle... That snapped my spindle lock. I tried again with the rod and my knockout bar in the holes on the spindle shaft and resting against the bed... Bent my knockout bar.
Any ideas would be really appreciated!
