4.0 out of 5 stars Really a good chuck but ..., December 4, 2001

This review is from: Delta 46-951 6-Inch Lathe Chuck (Tools & Home Improvement)

The chuck is really well made and the wrench moves the jaws very smoothly. Unfortunately I have to return it. Not because the chuck has any faults, but rather because the description and the professional reviewer failed to tell me that the jaws are adjusted individually, rather than concentrically with one turning of the wrench. Now that's a good feature if you are working with blanks that need that. But my needs were stricly for round concentric bowl use, and I wanted to be able to ensure the bowl blank was centered with one tightening operation. The picture shows the T-wrench and one adjustment socket. No hint that the chuck has independent adjustments. By the way, the Delta label on the box indicates the independent adjustment. So should Amazon's description.

So, if that's what you need, it is a solid product, just what you'd expect from Delta. That's why I gave it 4 stars. Couldn't give it 5 without actually using it, and since I'm returning it, I couldn't do that.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not for turning bowls..., August 17, 2006

A disappointment from Delta.The jaws have no holding power. There are no teath on them of any substance, so objects are prone to movement. I expected something better than a cheap chinese import from Delta and was sorely disappointed. I have to blame myself for being a novice and not doing enough research, instead I relied on Delta's reputation and in this instance was disappointed. I would return it if I hadn't used it in my learning curve...

Good deal, package well. This chuck is great for odd shaped parts, since each jaw moves independent of others.Good for home hobby or commercial use.
