Customer Reviews for 160mm (6") 4-jaw Metal Lathe Chuck Independent Jaws W Chuck Key

You buy THIS if you want to be able to adjust each jaw independently, such as when you need to eliminate runout with an indicator, or you have eccentric work. For general-purpose lathe work, you use a self-centering chuck, as you described. This chuck does precisely what it says it does.

Works well and is a decent price.

I believe it will work for the purpose for which I purchased it.I will hold it in my 10 inch scroll chuck for holding small diameter parts that the large one won't close upon. Quicker than installing the collet chuck.

Seams to be a very good built chuck. Held the stock well. Ran very true no wobble. I would steer someone to buy this if they were looking for one

Works great on my early 1900 lathe

Great product, quality. Awesome price. Bought it back in May and I_e been using it since. No issues thus far.

Well built 4 jaw chuck, no complaints.

Surprisingly good quality chuck. Solid and well made. I machined a cast iron backplate for it and installed it on my 9 x 20 lathe. (I think it is the perfect size for this lathe; imho a six inch chuck would be too big.) The jaws seemed a bit sticky at first but this was solved by a thorough cleaning. The only negative was the number of sharp edges on the jaws and chuck face, but again this was easily fixed. I chucked up a back gear housing and adjusted center to within 0.0005, (the limit of my DTI), so it works well for me. I would buy it again.

Good product. Not threaded so you have to attach it to a backplate

4 jaw chucks with independent jaws. Works the way its intended to. Don't listen to Klean obviously that person is a moron
