I've been looking around for a replacement 4" 4 jaw for my Atlas 618. I've seen enough of the cheap 4 jaw chucks to worry about oddly ground jaws or other quirks and i do use a 4 jaw allot so it's worth investing some money in. the choice has come down to either a used Buck which come up for sale in the $200 range, but may have issues that you can't see in pics, or a new Gator which I've heard good things about for similar money. $200 is about my limit as that's a bit less than what i hope to get for my old lathe whilst still leaving some cash for an igaging read out. whatdya think?
