Axminster has a new 3" chuck for $160, dang good price for a dang good
name. At Craft Supplies USA:

Thanks for the info, Ken. I've seen Craft Supplies USA mentioned
before, but didn't have the link.

I notice that the aforementioned chuck tightens with a key rather than
tommy bars - is this really preferable, or is it a matter of personal
preference. I would assume that, as with a Jacobs chuck, you should
tighten several times around the chuck, rather than depending on one
tightening in one location.
