I am looking forward to using this impressive-looking chuck when I'm ready to try my hand at turning some bowls.
The 1 inch X 8 tpi fits my midi wood lathe perfectly. it doesn't take many turns onto the headstock before It tightens though, so I'm wondering if the the grub srews are supposed to be tightened into the thread for added security?
This Self-centering chuck is heavy and solidly made. It opens/closes smoothly with the use of the chuck key. A separate wood screw is provided to offer a few different ways to hold the work piece.
I'm assuming the jaws can be swapped out for for different ones depending on what you have to hold?
So much to learn! - But with this chuck, methinks the learning will be a positive experience......
