I felt a little silly today screwing on my new $235 chuck onto my $200

just made sense not to skimp on the chuck to save a few bucks, versus
the lathe and chisels being good enough to get started. I'm just
sayin, it felt a little silly for a moment there.

Yep.. BTDT...
Buying a $200 chuck and an additional set of jaws and using them on a $180 Jet
mini seemed really weird, but I sure made a lot of stuff on that sucker.. and am
still using the chuck, 2 lathes later..
