So I bought the PSI Barracuda CSC500K a week and a half ago but between the time I placed the order and received the chuck, I had torn apart the small box that my mini lathe was mounted to and built a rolling cabinet for the lathe. I just finished the cabinet and mounted the lathe to it and when I put the chuck on and checked it, there's some really bad wobble in this thing. The spindle has no wobble in it (at least that is noticeable), but as soon as I mount the chuck, the bowls that I had done the initial outer profile on prior to the new chuck, when placed in the chuck are really off. I've spent a few hours attempting to get everything aligned properly, but success is not with me today.
I took a video with my dial indicator placed on the inside of the jaws to show how much of an alignment issue I've got. This is the same amount when checking all other places of the chuck as well. Is it that I just received a bad chuck or is this the standard for this chuck? I would hope not as this is not what I would expect from a $130 or so chuck.

Anybody have any thoughts? I'm within the 30 day return period, so I could exchange it for a new one or get my money back and look elsewhere?
