I know that the OneWay chucks are very high thought of by turners. I just looked and they do have an adaptor for my lathe. It's an old J-Line/Yates American and has a funny spindle. I just learned that just any old spindle adaptor don't work!
I just curious if another brand of chuck stands out? I have the PSI Barracuda with the tommy bars and I am not impressed with mine. I think I got a lemon because most folks like theirs. Mine is sticky and hard to adjust. I can live with it but I am not impressed. I am going to tear it apart and see if something has gotten inside of it.
So any other brands stand out? I think Grizzly has some listed. Name brand is not important. I just want one that works and will last. And will fit my odd ball lathe spindle too.
