Money put towards a good chuck is money well spent. If the spindle is the lathe's heart, the chuck is its hands. Steady hands are needed for precision.
Agreed. That's why I spent the Big Bucks (for me) to put a 8 1/4" Pratt Burnered set right on my 1340GT. It just seemed kinda silly to spend the money to get a quality lathe and then throw a junk chuck on it.
