a softer set screw wouldn't hurt if it makes you feel better. I can't
speak for head stocks on all LOM's but mine seems to be hardened. i see no
marks on the surface as of this morning. the set screw touches the surface
beyond the threads so it is getting a good bite without having to over
Your runout results are interesting. YMMV (your mileage may vary). My only
concern about using a set screw for the average Joe, is that a cup point is
used. The holding power would be excellent, but it will damage the spindle by
biting into the spindle. A small circle is embossed in the

I agree the locking collar with a pin is an excellent idea and effective.
I said awhile back (I think on my face plate video) that a 1"-8 TPI nut cut
down to make narrow to fit on the head stock threads would be an adequate
solution. You pin idea on the locking

having to loosen the chuck

it's about how to index and lock down the 4 jaw chuck to the head stock,
just like the locking index hub. you can then use custom face plates for
everything.
