How I Made a Lathe 4-Jaw Chuck Back Plate in My Workshop

In this video, I show you how I made a custom back plate for my lathe 4-jaw chuck using basic tools and machining techniques in my own workshop. From raw steel to precision fitting, you’ll see the full process including turning, drilling, boring, and final assembly. Whether you're a machinist, a DIY enthusiast, or someone setting up a lathe, this project is a great example of how you can make your own tooling at home.
