Q. The deluxe chuck keeps dropping the rod. Do you have any suggestions?
A.
| Do’s | |
| Do make sure blank is properly aligned to chuck and rod supports | |
| Do insure that the Rod supports are adjusted in height to cradle the blank in a level position. | |
| Do use the appropriate sized jaw covers for your rod or blank | |
| Do make sure the handle weight is properly supported by a rod support. | |
| Do protect any glossy surface of the blank from scratches or dulling from the rod support roller. This is best done with a wrap or two of Blue painter’s masking tape. | |
| Do make sure that the Jaw covers are firmly positioned on the jaws of the chuck. | |
| Don’ts | |
| Don’t wrap, dry or turn a rod without the rod supports properly aligned and supporting the entire rod. | |
| Don’t over-tighten the chuck. | |
| Don’t run the chuck in a counter-clockwise direction if unattended. | |
| Don’t apply any lubricant or rubber protector to the Jaw Covers. |
