If you're going to spend $100 on a cheap chuck, I'd feel better (and
it's not my daughter!) if you got a reputable chuck; a good one. If it
costs more money, leave out a few stocking stuffers. I'm not saying
the one you're asking about isn't good, I am not familiar with it, but
this accessory is going to hold that chunk of wood from flying and it's
a very important accessory.

Ditto. A good chuck is the second most expensive single accessory for a lathe. Like Ruth, I have no experience with that chuck you
are refering too, but I have used a Nova Compac chuck (approx $79US) and returned it within one hour. Totally unsatisfied with it.
Consider at least a standard Nova chuck (I have one and actually like it better than the SuperNova....which I sold).
