Anyone have an idea for a source (cheap and most likely Chinese or

Well ... I'm using a 6-1/4" one by Bison on my Clausing. I
bought it from New England Brass and Tool, FWIW, but there are other
sources too. The chuck is one item, the backplate is the other, and
you
fit them to each other

Get the one with two-piece jaws while you are about it. You can
then use soft jaws for special problem jobs.

It is not that cheap, and FWIW it is made in Poland, but I
consider it to be very good.

Enjoy,
DoN.

I have a 5" 3-jaw Bison Set-Tru that rarely needs readjustment.
