This temporary video is in raw format and not very well done. I need to remember not to let the tripod touch the machine next time I video. LOL. There may be long moments with me doing other things off camera.
Apologies to anyone who watched this on my other channel and then noticed it missing there. Found out after posting it that RU-vid frowns on duplicating videos on multiple channels. Thanks for watching.
It was difficult for me to use freshly annealed copper on hardened spline. This chuck is new and sharp. The splines are also sharp. Had I used work hardened copper, I think it would have gone easier. This also a 13 spline in a 4-jaw chuck so always chucking a spline on one side and a gap on the other. Everything being chucked embeds itself into the copper. If it needs to be in a different position it needs to come out of the hole it made and then embedded into a new one. I needed maximum rigidity anywhere possible, so glad I annealed them and spent the extra time. Lessons learned: I should have started with a lighter touch all the way to .0005 if that was the target. That would have allowed the joints to slide a little to their new locations. Copper in the hard state would have probably been just as good and easier to use. I could have also settled for most all the .0005s I got, but it was fun to do … just difficult to watch. After editing this, it became watchable if not comical. If you are a pro it is still probably difficult to watch. Thanks for watching.
