>I have a AXMINSTER Chuck for my Jet Mini Lathe which has a 10 inch swing and I was wondering if the AXMINSTER 10 INCH BUTTON JAWS will fit or if I should get the AXMINSTER 6 INCH BUTTON JAWS?

Thanks

Quote: "The 10" button jaws will give you enough room to use them without them bottoming out on the lathe."

So I Ordered them. They will probably be here next week and I will put them on and see how much expansion room I have. If they work I will keep them, if not I will return them. I also kept the email they sent.
