They may not be as accurate, but they still hold turned parts in collet block without marking. Brian

135 forum posts 3 photos	Mind from what you read ,some of the cheaper 3 jaw chucks are not that great,After placing my order l thought that the mill could do with a clean up etc,then it stuck me the new collet chuck has a m16 thread for draw bar,nope a m16 will not go down the spindle to tight ,after sulking and moaning an why did l not check before buying ,so have made a plug with the m16 thread on it then a m12 thread in to that,when the chuck comes and its as good as they say ,l will remove the plug an loctie it in,oh well it will turn out ok in the end. john
