My next chuck will be a Vicmarc. I assume the insertion of the hex is
easy. Sometimes on the key chucks when thge saw dusts builds up, it\s
hard to fit the key in.

I have the Vicmarc chuck and the screw works great. I have made
several
wood washers so now I can very the depth of the screw in the wood.
Another
thing about the vimarc is that it uses a metric allen wrench that is
availible in about every tool center and home center. One of the guys
in
our club got a free chuck ( not Vicmarc) but no key wrench. the key
was
over $40.00. That is something to think about if you are looking to
buy a
chuck.

That's why God invented the air compressor. But, with two much-used
Oneway chucks (a Stronghold and a Talon) I've never seen the problem.

Neither have I and I have come to like the open back of the Stronghold - I
just give it a spin to open or close the jaws quickly (usually when off the
lathe).
