Outstanding Chuck

Reviewer: Ralph Zetti (Lancaster, PA)

The best chuck I have used. Versatile, and well built. Easy to install and remove. Three sets of jaws to handle a wide range of projects. From drilling the center holes in pen blanks to turning that unique bowl.

Very nice quality; heavy, accurate, versatile. Great value. Jaws are very easy install, hold projects tight and dead-on center. Instructions, however, should at least include what size pilot hole to drill for the screw center. I would definitely recommend this chuck system to other turners.

Fills all thats needed

Slicker then owl snot!

Reviewer: Randy Barker (Franklin, ME)

Seriously! I am very happy with this chuck, it runs in and out smoothly, grabs whatever I put to it without a hitch. I must admit that I am getting used to the secondary sets of jaws, it seems that I can latch onto whatever I want with the set that came on it that I had to force myself to try the other jaws. I am just as happy with those too. The only thing I could even come close to calling a little problem is when you are spinning the key chuck it has a tendency to screw out away from the teeth. so you have to push down on the key as you turn, but it's almost a non issue. Other then that I highly recommend this chuck to anyone! Slicker then owl snot on a hot tin roof!

I received the chuck packed in its container just like they advertised. The chuck works great and is very simple to use.
