For the price, I'm very happy with chuck. It's a little loose, but I just can't believe the price. I wasn't familiar with a chuck on wood lathe, but this really holds irregular shaped projects. I am trying to make some bowels out of branches. I turn 3" round for base , then turn around and work on bowel side . I was taking too much time to center jaws up on 3" base. So I found some 3/4" round stock, threaded one end and screwed it into chuck.Now when I finish the 3" base, I drill a shallow 3/4" hole in base.flip it over , slip it onto 3/4" stub shaft, then screw jaws up to bowel base. Really speeds it up !
Great product for the price -- nothing else compares! Only two problems: The backlash when adjusting the jaws in and out is truly monumental. It takes about five turns to take the lash out to get the jaws to move in the opposite direction! Also, the key only fit three of the jaws; the other jaw had an undersized square. Still, I would buy again!
I am very happy with the product, the service, the price. This company continues to impress. You folks are certainly the bar all other companies need to model themselves after.
Very pleased with the 4-Jaw Chuck quality, price and overall service from Grizzly.
