I have a three jaw scroll chuck made by BANI that came with a Zyto lathe. It's approximately 3 1/2" in diameter and apparently well made but I've never heard of BANI. Just purely out of idle curiosity, does anyone know anything about them and are they considered any good?

A bit of Googling threw up the fact it might be swiss made which suggests good quality. It does feel very good in operation.

Chris,

Does it also have independently adjustable jaws, like this?

... or is it the knurled-ring style?

P.S.

Have a look at this Gallery of Six-Jaw "Bezel Chucks"

... including one made by BANI, for Bergeon

Probably off-topic, but I just found this Maprox brochure 

Aahh! ... those are sweet

Thanks Michael. Yes, I found those when I was googling. No, it's just a conventional three jaw scroll chuck but with only one chuck key position. It has a good quality feel about it which is what made me curious. I'd never heard of Bani.
