Let me clarify something - 3-jaw lathe chucks these days generally come in one of three ways. 1) Generally the least expensive will be the type where the rear plate of the chuck comes already threaded

That is a 5" mini-lathe chuck. Probably not a bad chuck, but maybe a little small for a 12" Atlas. I have a 4-jaw 5" I got for my mini-lathe, and it's maybe a bit large for them. All depends on what
