    Axminster chucks??

    Most of the talk I hear is vicmarc, nova/supernova, and oneway but I was looking at this
    http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/cg...n&key=014-6340
    and it seemed pretty decent and a bit cheaper than its keyed counterparts.
    Any input on it or advice about what 'should' be important when comparing chucks would be great.

    Hummmmm....
    Looks completly different than the Axminster chucks I've seen before.
    The ones I saw were much more robust and longer than this shorter, stubbier version.
    One thing about chucks, ANY chucks, be prepared to accept whatever the company offers in the way of accessory jaws and such.
    In the big picture, that's part of the reason I went with Oneway chucks. I can't justify one of their lathes. But I couldn't UN-justfy their chucks. ;)

    :D

    A unique way of looking at it I suppose. But I would expect no less ;)

    Maybe you are remembering this chuck from them
    http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/cg...n&key=914-0400

    They seem to have a good amount of jaws available

    This would be for the Jet Mini that I think 'Santa' is dropping off this year.

    One again let me take the oppertunity blame all of you for this wallet emptying effect that has come over me since I started looking in this forum.

    Yep, that's the one Kevin. Chunky lil monkey!
    And yeah, lots of jaws. I noticed they call their "spigot" jaws "Reardon" jaws.
    Anyhow the warning stands, chuck brand = company jaws. Some of the chucks out there also have undesirable traits about the adaptors as well.
    Like they can unscrew from the chuck. :o
    Gotta go. ;)

    :D

    I don't think you can go wrong with any of those four, I prefer the Oneway jaws.
