I ordered it from eBay it is a back plate for a adjust true chuck with the D1-4 mount. From Discount_machine

What is the purpose of the nuts?

Sounds good...thanks. I never saw one that came plain like that...usually fully machined.

just to help lock them in place probably not necessary but maybe just psychological.
I usually use two on each and just finger tight.
Also can make very small adjustments by tightening them slitely more on initial dial in.

It was fully machined or had the the screw holes in it and I
turned it down just past them. And skim cut each face surface, diameters and bore.

Cloud,

Is the picture of a barrel set-up to chamber, or is it just staged for the photo?

Yes it's being set up for chamber and thread for a savage action. In this setup I'm turning the shank down close to 1.0625 them I'll move up closer for the finish diameter and chamber and thread.

Cloud,

Got it. I think your headstock needs oil!

Thanks it has a very light blue synthetic oil in it with moly.
Just a little full so it is right above the high mark when runing.
