It really is a nice chuck. I used to just cover my 4 jaw chuck with a rag and jam the bowl on it. I could never get it centered perfect. This Longworth chuck gets it centered every time with little effort.
Rockler must be getting rid of them since on clearance on their website for $180 for 16" . Just picked up the 16" for almost $80 price tag said $209 and sales price tag was $180 but store was remodeling and had on 50% off table . looking forward to using it. Fellow guild member and store employee saw me in store and brought it to my attention. She loves the 10" one she owns Thank you for vid.
Sounds like a great deal. It’s one of those things that saves so much time and aggravation, it’s hard to put a price on it….although Rockler does a good job at it.
Thanks. I have the same lathe, just ordered one of these chucks. Hoping to figure out how to use it for centering segmented rings for glue up, something like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6je7AkApRf8.html
