I have a 12" (101.07403) I've reached a level of frustration having on a 4 jaw chuck and am ready to get a 3 jaw.? I don't mind setting up the work in a 4 jaw but removing the work to check something and then having to re-chuck it is getting tiresome.
There are a few on ebay currently of different brands with the 1 1/2- 8 threads.? (Atlas, Cushman, etc)
Should I try one of the older used chucks or try a new Shars or something similar or stick with an old one?? I would like to find an Atlas 6" diam chuck but they aren't cheap.? Am I rolling the dice either direction with accuracy?
