All this talk of a 6-jaw has me thinking.

I have an opportunity to pick up a 4-1/2" "self-centering", plain back
6-jaw chuck, as opposed to the independent 5" plain back 4-jaw chuck I
was considering.

If the question is, "Is a 6-jaw as versatile as a 4-jaw?" the answer
is an emphatic "no."


A 6 jaw is generally the same type of chuck as the 3 jaw. But it has
double the number of jaws, for when you need to chuck up thinner
stuff..it tends to "dent" the work less and hold better. But its not a
do all life saver. But its damned nice to have.

"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
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
