This is my first experience with a new and first with a six jaw chuck. It grips very well. Ran a DTI over the outside of the chuck. Looks like about 1 or 1.5 thou of runout. Maybe this can be reduced by bumping the chuck on the backplate.
Overall it looks to be very well machined. I was concerned because similar chucks are much more expensive.

Shot a lot of vid but don't know that I will be using it. Especially the parts where I was scrubbing parts with my boxers showing above my pants! That and neglecting to start recording now and then more or less made it useless.
Have a few hours in using the chuck. Mostly I like it. Takes a while to swap the jaws around but they are a very good fit. Once in a while it take a soft hammer bump to get one loose. When this happens I add a bit of oil.
