My 4 jaw chucks are not used as much as they should be i suppose, usually for me...
down and dirty i go 3 jaw,
for when it counts or for odd work, 4 jaw.
if it really, really counts, between centers.
(i would like a 5C spindle chuck or at least a 5C spindle adapter)
(Iv'e been a good boy Santa!!!:jester
I only have a 4 jaw I can use right now as the original 3 jaw was beat up and has terrible run out, and the new 3 jaw I bought needs a back plate made before I can use it. Doesn't take long to dial in the work and it would be quicker if I had somewhere better to mount the DI or if the headstock didn't move so much
However, as soon as the 3 jaw is ready I can see myself using that a whole lot more!
Almost always a 4 jaw
