Default Better Drill Chuck for My Lathe


I also like Jacobs ball bearing chucks. But like to buy them used. They are not cheap. Might feel different if I was doing a lot of machining. The ball bearing Asian drill press chucks are also pretty good. Some of the Asian non ball bearing chucks are terrible. I bought a large floor model Harbor Freight drill press second hand. I think the owner sold it because the chuck was so bad. I replaced the chuck with a ball bearing Asian chuck and it is a pretty good drill press now.
