Cnc lathe is new to me so I don't know what to expect. I have a SMW 250 chuck and I notice when I mount a new set of 2" tall jaws & clamp a piece of bar there is a lot of deflection/lift in the master jaws on the chuck. It is about .016 and this results in the jaws not being parallel by at least .007 or so(it's hard to measure).
After the jaws are bored it looks fine, but is this normal?
