To me, the markings left by my Stronghold chuck are not acceptable. If you
click on Leo's picture "There is no indication of any destruction caused by
the Stronghold chuck !!!" at
http://homepage.mac.com/l.vanderloo/PhotoAlbum26.html , you will see the
marks left by the chuck jaws. It is up to the individual to decide whether
these are acceptable or not. I prefer to have a radiused recess.

I think that the key difference here are the words "damage" and "marks",
Derek...
As you see from http://homepage.mac.com/l.vanderloo/PhotoAlbum23.html
Leo, like most of us, finishes the bottoms after the bowl is dry..

Now, if you want to see "damage", I learned this weekend that the dovetailed
recess should be deeper on a green bowl than on a dryer piece... I was shaping
the inside of the bowl and got a very minor catch, and one side of the recess
blew out..
It didn't come off the chuck, but it wouldn't true back up either.. not sure
what's worse.. *g*
