Find Best Price at Amazon"I would recommend this to anyone wanting a good quality Lathe Chuck."
"It is made by PSI, but Amazon has a better price and free shipping to boot. If they were smart the bottom would have closed cell foam under the plastic. The second case only had one chip on the inside so I repaired it with Plast-aid (also sold by Amazon)."
"Have to make sure your cuts are pretty exact to get it to clamp when doing bowls but once you mess the first one up you figure it out."
"I've made a couple bowls thus far using the worm to get the outer & bottom recess made, then the jaws holding in the recess to hollow."
"I Made my own Plastic Gasket to fit between the Lathe Head and the Chuck and began using the Chuck to turn a Bowl, it is much easier than using a face plate and no screw holes left in my work."
"Good, light chuck for a small lathe."
"If you turn a couple of bowls a month, 8 or 10 pens a month; this will get you by just fine."
"I want to return it for a new one but NOV 30 was the last date I could return it."
