I have on a few occasions needed a 4 jaw chuck but always convinced myself it is not going to be used often enough to earn its keep but now I'm passed that and want not only a 4 jaw chuck but the biggest I can put on a mini mill which is a 5".
Now I'm wondering how many of you mini mill owners have a 4 jaw independent chuck? and what make/model /size did you get?
I only know one reliable place to buy this chuck from and that's LMS, they sell model 2338 but it needs an adapter to fit on my lathe, does any of you own this model? what do you think of the quality ? I'm sure there are better chucks out there but all I need is a 4 jaw chuck that doesn't need to be modified in order to make it acceptable. LMS has not disappointed me yet but I thought your opinions on this model and/or other manufacturers would be valuable now before I pull the trigger.
So if you got a 4 jaw chuck, please let me know about the,make/model , size, quality, price, etc.
Thanks to all in advance.
