Howdy fellers. I got a quick query for you all.
I'm going to finally get a four jaw chuck for my little Atlas. I am going to buy new, and I can't afford a more expensive chuck. This is down solely to Little Machine Shop vs. Shars.
What is everyone's opinion on the quality from each company? Will I be better off with one or the other, or should I just go with whatever one looks better because their little Chinese minions work in the same factory?
The prices, with shipping, are basically equal - $2 with a matching backplate and shipping.
For myself, I have bought from both companies once. Both were hassle free. With my previous Shars order, the item (an indexable end mill) broke prematurely, and I got a 100% free replacement. Having never dealt with LMS, I am leaning towards Shars for customer service, though only over a single event. Recently though I called them asking for different shipping options, and their CS person was rather... clueless? Not sure how to feel about that.
Anyway, done babbling. Thanks guys. I'm gonna be ordering within the next few days.
