Review: Great addition as lathe accessory - I had been making a lot of tool handles for rasps, files and other handled tools by first free-hand drilling tine holes into my stock before turning. Even clamped for the drill press, the hole never worked out centered or perfectly straight into the handle stock. The obvious solution is using the lathe to drill a perfectly aligned and centered hole. This chuck facilitates that. Although it is a little long for my midi-lathe (I'm ordering a bed extension soon), it is certainly fine for chucking drill bits and drilling horizontally into a handle that is 6-10" long. The machining on the chuck is exceptional and well-balanced, no wobble or vibrations. The clamping action is smooth and the weight and size provides plenty of heft and holding power. The chuck key is properly geared (I prefer over keyless chucks) and delivers plenty of torque to hold the bit securely. The maximum bit size is 1/2" and the holding wedges equally converge on the bit to keep it centered. The #2 Morse taper is precisely milled and no slippage occurs once you give a minor hand push. The depth of the hole can be determined by watching your tailstock spindle markings, if you have them. I haven't figured out at which end, the head stock or tail stock, to mount the chuck for drilling. In the headstock, the drill is spinning into the wood; in the tail stock the would is spinning and the drill is being driven into it. I suppose it doesn't matter but I prefer the latter. Somebody smarter than me can deliberate on it. This is a good purchase and I wasn't disappointed, as you can sometimes be with sight-unseen online purchases. I couldn't be more pleased and the price was acceptable. I will be extending the use of the chuck to hold small pieces like dowels and small stemmed turnings.
