Grizzly chuck

>Finally I got the Grizzly chuck that is a copy of the Vicmarc. I'm at work so i don't have my Vicmarc to compare but it looks exactly like the vicmarc. The machining isn't as good and the T handles look cheap but everything else looks the same, even the insert.

What it looks like is if you gave me a Vicmac chuck and told me to make one just like it. My machine skills aren't that good and this is probably what it would look like.

Everything seems to function properly and it will probably be a good useful chuck but it doesn't have the smoothness of operation and the quality look of my Vicmarc.

I will get home kind of late tonight but I'll but the two side by side and give a little more insight. I'd say it's a darn good deal for $100.90 shipping and all.

I got the H6267 with 1 1/4x8 threads. Yours will be 1"x8. It seems like a good chuck especially for that price.

>My Grizzly chuck is to be delivered tomorrow. It has been backordered for months. I am new to turning so I have nothing to compare it to but I will let you know if it flys apart on my lathe. (Jet Mini)

>Just a little follow up. I got the Grizzly chuck today and I'm impressed. As I mentioned, I don't have anything to compare it to but the fit and finish on this one is first rate. Maybe the long delay was due to the factory improving their quality.
