Jaws have been bored to correct size.
Make sure that jaws of the chuck are bored correctly for the outside diameter of the bearing cage. Machining the jaws of the lathe to the same diameter as the bearing cage will cause equal pressure to be exerted on the outside diameter.

The outside diameter is being checked with a dial indicator.
Illustration 13 g01287953
The face is being checked with a dial indicator.
Place the bearing cage in a lathe. Zero set a dial indicator on the outside diameter and the end face. Rotate one revolution to measure total indicator reading. The maximum for the total indicator reading is 0.127 mm (0.0050 inch).

The edge of the bearing cage should be chamfered and the edge of the bearing cage should be deburred.
Illustration 18 g01314756
The dimensions for the chamfer that are shown above are listed in Table 4.
(1) Depth of the chamfer
(2) Angle of the chamfer and location of the chamfer
Use the boring bar or the tool for chamfering to cut a chamfer on the bearing cage. Deburr the bearing cage and remove the bearing cage from the lathe. Dimensions for the chamfer are shown in Illustration 1 and given in Table 4.
