I have a mini-lathe, but even for those with the larger machines I was
looking for opinions on whether or not the "Adjust Tru" feature on
something like the Bison is really worth the money.

Is any gain is speed or possible accuracy really worth the cost that
these go for?

Thanks.

If your lathe is big enough for even a small Adjust Tru...and you need a
3 or 6 jaw chuck that is dead nuts..yes..they are indeed very handy to
have. Ive got {2} 6" ones and a couple 8" ones...and one 10" one..and
they have saved my bacon on more than one occasion .

But most people, for rough turning, really dont need one. They are very
handy for returning Stuff that has been turned before.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned

the subject." Grey Ghost
