Default I need to buy a 3 jaw adjust true chuck

" fired this volley in news:65cf7d1e-
:

You can adjust a three jaw once and
then machine a hundred parts without having to spend that 2-3 minutes
per part.


You can do that with a 4-jaw, too. If you torque all 4 jaws to the same
torque, only loosen two jaws, are using the same o.d. workpiece each
time, and re-tighten those two jaws to the same torque as before, it's
every bit as true as a scroll chuck would be.

It's in the maneuver, not the hardware.

Besides, only collets are accurate on every chuck-up.
