21.Here I checked the dimensions of the body and noticed a mistake. The counterbore part with a diameter of 60 mm had become 50 mm. Since the through hole is 12mm, the screw chuck can no longer be used. As a countermeasure, the main body was tightened with M12 bolts and gripped with a three-jaw chuck.  | 
     22.The counterbore was successfully extended to 60mm.  |
