Hello,
Just got a new lathe for Christmas and now I need a chuck. Money is tight after the lathe purchase (gift from my wife) so I was looking at inexpensive chucks that might be good enough for a first chuck and I saw this one frome Grizzly https://www.grizzly.com/products/3-75-Wood-Lathe-Chuck-Set/T10809.
Has anyone tried this chuck set out, or any of the similar sets (i.e. the larger or smaller ones)? If these are any good at all I do not think I can beat it for the cost, I know there are other chucks out there at a similar price point but at $30 per set of jaws plus $70 for Cole jaws that alone is almost $200 worth of jaws plus the chuck.
I have searched the internet high and low and have not found a single review on any of these sets...there has got to be at least one person somewhere out there that has purchased these.
Any opinions or information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bill
