....that I should ask lathe chuck producers.
Why are the jaws for a chuck numbered? I know that you put jaw number 1 on the number 1 position of the chuck, but why? I don't see any difference between the individual jaws, and the parts on the chuck don't seem to be milled for a specific jaw.
One of those imponderable questions that I am SURE that someone on this forum knows the answer to.
(I know that there are many more interesting questions, and perhaps I have too much free time on my hands....)
