Hi All,
I am thinking about purchasing a new chuck and want to make a good investment. I currently use a Nova and it works well. However, I would like to take a step up in quality. Everyone talks about Vicmarc and Oneway, but I have heard little about the midpriced chucks such as Axminster and Hurricane. EasyWood is getting a lot of good press about their quick change chuck. The concept of one good chuck with quick change jaws does sound appealing. On the other hand, it seems like several of you guys have more chucks ready-to-go on your lathe than I have socks in my dresser. Any pro/cons on the quick change chuck concept? Any general guidance on quality chucks you can give me wood be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon
