Awesome chuck! I have been using it to turn reel seat inserts and cork grip handles for fly rods. I haven't had any issues with run-out or the jaws not holding blanks securely. The chuck is producing nice, round reel seats. All seems to be in order.Watch your fingers though, this chuck bites. haha

This little chuck works great. I held off reviewing it until I used it several times in different ways. It works smoothly and holds well. The two tighting bars/rods are great, no key to twist. If you misplace a rod no big deal just use a drill bit. I don't know if they make a larger chuck but I am going to look into it because I can use a larger size. I highly recommend this item.

Definitely a worthwhile purchase for those on a budget. I bought this to use as an auxiliary chuck and found that I was extremely pleased with the quality and machining. The fact that the bowl jaws were added free as a promotion greatly influenced my initial decision, but I wasn't disappointed. I spun it on the lathe as soon as it arrived and my only complaint thus far, after quite a few boxes and bowls, is that I was turning a thin walled box lid and put a little too much horsepower into chucking it up for finishing and cracked the lid. It was cedar and that was entirely my fault, but live and learn. I'd definitely recommend this chuck to anyone, especially someone new to the craft or those on a budget. It comes with all the bells and whistles that my Nova chuck has and with the exception of it chucking with two stout rods tightened in opposite directions instead of a long handled drill chuck, the machining is very comparable and solid. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

The D4054 chuck works well. I've used it now for several weeks and have no complaints. The only thing was that it did not come with a manual to show how to configure the jaws, but a few minutes playing with the chuck I figure it out. All in all it is a good product for the price.

Love this chuck. Never had one before and will never be without one again. Wow very smooth and centers round stock like you wouldn't believe. I use mine making wooden toys and can not say enough good things. Con? Only one. I should have ordered it sooner.

The quality of this chuck is mediocre. My unit has 0.012" runout which is OK for some woodworking tasks but completely unacceptable for metalworking. It also has a tendency to loosen up easily. I bought this chuck to shape the end of ebony square stock for Greene & Greene style furniture plugs, and it works OK for that use. If you need a precision four jaw chuck look elsewhere.

For this to work well the stock needs to be VERY SQUARE. If stock is not square only 2 jaws make contact. Which means big whammy time when you fire it up to 3000 RPM !!!!This will not work as a one ended support for turning wood. Both ends need support.This is not a defect this is how they are intended to be used.

Product works great as long as you also use the tail stock. All projects I attempted to hollow without the tail stock fell out. In one instance injuring my hand. You will also want to have multiple tightening bars. Both that came with mine snapped.

I have used it once so far, It threads nicely onto an 8 tpi spindle and it seems to center well, i tried reversing the jaws, It seems pretty much standard and it works pretty well. My only complaint is that its a little "crusty" to move, i just gave it a quick very light grease and it seems much better. This is the ideal small chuck for the home gamer, I'm very happy with it for the price.

This chuck is great for small projects on a mini lathe. Holds securely.

It fulfills all my expectations as a wood lathe chuck, precision and ease to reverse the jaw. It works well with square and round blank.
