New guy here, intros were done in the "Who we are" forum. I searched and did not see any posts on the factory made longworth style chuck so I decided to post on the one I received today. Nicely made, smooth operation and appears to be a quality product. I had been waiting for it to come so I could finish a cherry bowl for my wife so I put it to use right away. Operation was simple and it held the bowl firmly. There is a well defined inner rim on this bowl so there was plenty to grip,(I expanded into the bowl) different style rims may need more support. The bowl centered well and the metal disk supplied with the chuck will fit in any #2 jaws. I will post pics and the link to where I purchased it in case anyone wants to study it a bit. Its just one more way to do it. ($129.00 w/ free shipping, they were a bit more on other sites)
