I've been using my Vicmarc 120 now for about 7 - 8 years now, really
hard. Large objects, off center turning, you name it. Solid as a
tank, even after my no so gentle use.

The only thing now is that it does seem a little bit smoother when
tightening to grip. It has been bulletproof.

By deciding if you will turn from spigots or mortises, you will
determine how you will grip, and hence what jaws you will need. I have
the jaw that came on my chuck, and sprung for a set of small long nose
jaws. Never needed anything else.

In fact, when I am holding something I don't want scratched, I use a
jam chuck held in the scroll chuck jaws... talk about too easy. Just
because you now have a scroller doesn't mean you stop using the other
tools and ways of turning.

I do agree that once you pass a certain point of $$ they are all nice
chucks.
