I recently got a Rohm chuck in a bulk buy that looks new and seems to be a fairly current model. I am sure there expensive and accurate so I am planning on keeping it. My question is I have never seen a 4 jaw self centering chuck except for the really old ones. Should it be mounted to a lathe or is it better served for a fixture? It did not come with a back plate so I could do either. Also, what are the pros and cons of this type of chuck? Oh, and the jaws are the type that you can Allen key off and reverse real quick. It's a real sweet looking chuck, I'll try to post a pic later, I have it apart because the grease dried up inside. I think it was bought and just sat in storage unused for a long time. Thanks in advance. -J
