HF cup turning chuck *LINK*

>Anyone have one of these?

The listing on the HF site currently has a broken photo link so I can't see it. I looked at the lathe it says it's for and it has a 1' 8TPI spindle, so I am thinking it would fit my lathe. $12 (which really means $20 with the S&H) for a cup chuck sounds like a real deal. My local HF doesn't stock it.

>I do see that in the description:

Overall size: 2-23/32'' L x 1-11/32'' diameter

Now that you have drawn my attention to it, that seems really small.

>an fyi; it seems like the size is for holding a turned end and doesn't necessarily limit the size.
