It's NOT a Chuck

[JimDawson]

What is even funnier are the comments left in reply to the OP's ''product review''. Most of which we would not allow on this forum, maybe more suited for that ''other forum''.

I don't know if that is a real chuck...where are the "controlling holes"?

 

[projectnut]

I guess I'm a slow learner. Over the years I've bought over a dozen of those things for my lathes. All of them with 3 jaws must be chucks since all the jaws move simultaneously when the key is turned. However all those that have 4 jaws are equally defective. I can never get more than 1 jaw to move at a time. I keep buying more and more thinking one day I'll get one that will work right.

Ya know, the guy may be right. I just thoroughly examined that round thing mounted on my lathe spindle that I thought was a 4-jaw chuck. Nowhere on it did I find where it says it’s a chuck. And, much to my surprise, it does have 4 independent adjusting holes, just like the aintnochuck on Amazon. I am depressed.

Sorry guys, you are all wrong and the reviewer is right! The 4 jaw is called Bob. Chuck only has 1 jaw. He came over last night.

Keep in mind that the difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.

I'm sorry, I couldn't help but provide feedback to Amazon and tell them that review was "Helpful".

Totally — i mean we all learned what controlling holes were, right?

The reviewer is not a machinist.

Did you check his other reviews?

Same here. I thought he was very helpful in providing some comedy relief from the constant onslaught of Covid news.
