The chuck that came with my used mill is...uh..."less than optimal". That sounds better than execrable, right?
The key doesn't fit worth a hoot and so far it's been impossible to get the jaws truly tight. I was taught to snug it up and then go around to all the key holes (three in this case) and tighten it in steps. I can do this until the cows come home and all it takes is a dirty look for it to come loose.
I'd like to upgrade to a better chuck without breaking the bank. Let's call the upper end of the budget $100.
Any suggestions?
