CME Adjustable 6" 3-Jaw Self-Centering (Scroll) Lathe Chuck, Plain (Flat) Back, Two-Piece Reversible Jaws

This 6” adjustable chuck is worth the money, it is excellent quality and easy to adjust, any size part can zeroed in minutes. It’s like adjusting a 4 jaw independent chuck, you can achieve a .0005 tir . I am able to produce more accurate parts from my old Clarke lathe than with any other 3 jaw chuck I own. When I contacted the seller with a couple questions, I got a response within hours, not days. I would recommend this product and this seller! 5 stars !!!!

I wanted a larger than 6" Self Centering Chuck for our 1442 lathe. We often turn items that are just too big to chuck without flipping the jaws. I had not ever considered a 6 jaw until stumbling on this one. On the same order, I purchased an adapter that was necessary for it to to fit our lathe. I am super happy with the purchase. It handles larger pieces, but also handles square items in a way I never considered, making it super useful - we really haven't taken it off from our lathe since we bought it. It was difficult to adjust at times (harder to turn), but switching drive positions helps. Also purchased a speed handle from Amazon, which made for a much quicker adjustments. It is way more enjoyable use. The only down side is flipping the jaws - there are twice as many to flip - worth the trouble compared to the limits of our 6" 3 jaw we used for almost everything.
