I have done a zillion strange things to grab hold of work pieces on my small wood lathe, often making holding fixtures from wood, or trying to make other chucks do things they were not designed to do since I couldn't swallow the price of auto-centering chucks. I finally decided to bite the bullet and bought this one (for not much money honestly) with only one regret - why the heck did I wait so long!The chuck is pretty impressive - the jaws seem to be fairly square and run true to center. It is also pretty compact, dispensing with a geared scroll (the larger more expensive ones I remember) instead working by rotating the face of the chuck relative to the mount to actuate the jaws. This takes a bit of getting used to, but it works very well. It probably doesn't have the precision of higher end chucks, but so far, even working metal pieces it seems to run true to about 0.005" or better, which is pretty impressive for a chuck at this price.Overall, I'm very happy with the chuck and have found many uses I hadn't anticipated, for example holding stock or workpieces to do hand operations on them (see photo - hand tapping a small piece). If I had it to do over again, I would have added this chuck to my set up much much sooner!

It works good. Make sure you read the instructions before using. The jaws can go in 2 different ways. Leave room when turning anything to keep from hitting the end of the jaw.

I do not appreciate the item for the price I paid. The opening / closing action is very gritty and not smooth. There are sharp edges and burrs all over the Jaws and headstock. It was not the easiest to use. The Jaws did not evenly touch in the middle when fully closed. Not impressed

this appears to be a good unit. however I could not thread the 1-8 threaded hub onto the spindle. I found the hub threads still had the metal shavings in threads. ran a 1-8 tap through and it screwed into place. so off and running. then just a few minutes into the turning process the jaws loosened up and wood leg fell out. this happened 3 more times. it appears that this is not a wood chuck as advertised. if you were turning metal you could really reef on the lock pins and force jaws onto work piece, but with wood you cannot do that. therefore I cannot give a good review, for wood working chuck.
