Anyone have good pointers to where I can get a 6" scroll chuck with an adjustable back

good chuck.

I need to get this accessory purchased soon. I just heard that the AG for Michigan may be
lifting the disability to own suppressors in my state soon which would divert my metal
working budget to my gun budget.

Don't mean to be a smart-ass, but could someone
tell me the advantage of a 3-jaw chuck that you
can dial in verses a 4-jaw independent chuck.

It seldom takes longer than 2-3 minutes for me
to dial in a 4-jaw chuck to .001". I have a
dial indicator and base all set up and seldom
use a 3- jaw chuck any more. Am I missing
something?

The big advantage of a 3 jaw that you can do adjustments on..is when you
do repeat parts. If you are only doing (1) part..a 4 jaw works just
fine..if you are set up and practiced at doing the setup.

Gunner, who has a big choices of 3/4/6 jaw chucks..and some are Adjust
trues.
