Hellow to all: FYI
I apologize for not commenting sooner since i have had 2 major health issues commencing 1 Year ago - however I am now OK & getting
back to doing some machine work. If any one is looking for a top quality drill chuck I would recommend a ROHM chuck - made in Germany (many sizes available) and distributed by ENCO MFG.. I bought one for my drill press and it has been very good. Also ENCO sells a different chuck called a GOOSE. This chuck ( 3/4" max ) I have used it on my Van Norman mill and it is also good. It is made in Taiwan. If you have any questions please list them on the forum.)

I purchased a new Jacobs super chuck a couple of years back and the runout is excessive and to make it worse, not repeatable. It is a China chuck. Finally broke down and bought a ROHM ball bearing and it is much better. The only thing I dislike about the ROHM is the barrel is smooth and kind of hard to turn when your hands have any oil on them.
