Am I having problems with my self centering chuck on my Hercus lathe.
I'm very much a novice when it comes to metal machining.
I've suspect for a bit that my three jaw self centering chucks are a bit off centre so today I pulled my dial gauge and had look and play.
First I put it on the spindle
turned the lathe by hand and this is has far as it is out 
Then I did the same with the chuck the piece in the chuck was turned between centres .
So I am pretty confer dent it is square and true

So questions are have I set up to check the main spindle correctly ?
Have I set up to check the chuck correctly ?
Is this amount of run out I think that's the correct term, ok or not on the chucks ?
Both my three way chucks are showing about the same amount of run out
If the chucks are the problem ?
I also made sure the jaws were clean before clamping down on the bar for testing.
What should or can I do about it ?????
And lastly am I making sense lol is this normal or not ?
And one last question my dial gauge good ok , bad I really have no idea about quality of this sort of stuff ?
Tho I spend a lot time in here reading all the threads pretending I understand lol.
