I'm in the market for an economical 6" or 8" lathe chuck for my rotary table. Can't justify a pricey chuck for my home shop application, but don't want junk either.
I'm reading on the web, that many new Chinese lathe chucks arrive fouled with casting sand, which of course needs to be washed out.
I don't own nor have space for a parts washer.
Can anyone advise if any of the retailers like Shars or others, have better quality product devoid of this sand?
