??? ??? I got my 6" 3 jaw with soft jaws & backplate from
CDCO several years back& have been happy with it . you will
have to do the backplate work before mounting , but ya need to do
that with any threaded chuck ya get .
??? ??? I put just the backplate on the spindle backwards &
shaved almost 3/4" of the plate so as to cut down on the chuck
overhang

Hey guys,
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?
Thanks for the input and advice.
-Jody
