>Hello all!

Has anyone had an experience with this Penn State (PSI) chuck? For $45 it looks like a good deal, if it works.

>I've had one for 6 months. I have a Total Shop lathe that is 14 yrs. old,has a 1x12 headstock spindle so I had an #2 MT made as it came with 1x8 and 3/4-16 adaptor,As far as I can see it does all that I want it to do. It's jaw opening is large and you can grip your stock either outside or inside. Seems to work easily and grips well. No problems to date.

>I have had one for about six months now. I no linger use it as I bought a Oneway Talon lst weekend. The problem with the PSI is that it takes two bars to loosen and tighten it. You need a third hand to hold the stock while you tighten. Now, you find pretty creative ways to get around this, but it is a hassle. Other then that, It is not to bad for the money.
