Installing your Live Center Adapter
This procedure is the same for all three of the Adapters.

Simply slip the Chucky Live Center Adapter over your Live Center; bring it forward to the Headstock Spindle to center it and align it with the three set screws.  Additional instructions are available on our procute instructions page.  
​Your Rubber Chuckies or other products with a 3/4-10 thread can now be mounted on the
Live Center Adapter.

Each adapter has three (brass) 1/4-20 Set Screws to ensure proper alignment.  A 1/8" Allen Wrench and one extra set screw are included.  See the video below for additional alignment instructions.

PLEASE NOTE that if you purchased the Yellow Adapter the Inside may need to be enlarged to fit SOME LIVE CENTERS!
This is because some of the Live Centers (like the Nova or some off brands) are slightly oversize. You can enlarge the inside diameter by mounting the Chucky in a scroll chuck and sanding it or using a square carbide cutter. Make sure to back the Allen Set Screws out a bit.  Remove very little material at a time as it will only be a few thousands that needs to be removed.
