It appears that that chuck was crashed, based on the gouges in the jaws.
Before I spent much time figuring if I could used it, I'd check that it
was still useable.

--What he said. But if you can find a manufacturer and get
replacement jaws it's a keeper. Still and all if you've got a need you
might
want to consider finding instead a Buck Adjust-tru chuck. I've got a
6-jaw
one of these on my Myford and it works a treat. Having the ability to
shift
the center of rotation is a huge advantage..


I do not think that the chuck was crashed. I think that it was ground
(accidentally) in a grinding machine. It is not quite the same.


It was ground that way on purpose, in order to be used for flute grinding.
