4 Jaw Chucks

Is it common on the small Skinner chucks for the jaws to be smooth? Have never used one with smooth jaws so don't know how much it will matter but won a 6" Skinner on eBay.
 
I got lucky, I found a 6" 4 jaw on E-bay. The trick is I have the old 1 7/8 8tpi spindle. This chuck I found is a Cushman and is in very good shape. Overnight in Evaporust and a good oiling and it is tight and smooth as glass.
E-bay
