Thanks, Gregg. I had missed that one in touring Chris's site yesterday. Ordered, with instructs to save me a couple bucks and put the timing pulley I ordered yesterday in one corner of the box. It doesn't say how thick the adapter is or how true it runs, but we'll find out, I have good dial indicators. > Dunno why nobody makes a 4" or 5" direct bolt on chuck for them.

The OEM 3" 3 jaw scroll is not even a sows ear, 50 thou or more run out, I wound up putting it on a rotary table for the mill, where if I really want wrench flats concentric, I can program the mill to center them. It gets used more for holding tool bits at odd angles while I sharpen them with a diamond wheel. And in the most recent escapade, made a pair of .0370" and .0515" allen wrenches to really fit some 0-80 cap screws. You can't buy an allen wrench that size that actually fits them.
