My 8" 4 jaw suddenly came down with a severe case of sprung jaws. Tried to mill them back to square, but the material is too hard. So I've started looking at new chucks.
In short, how does a fellow identify a decent quality chuck? My jaws seem to be made of good material, just too narrow (.790"). That parameter is not listed on the chucks I've looked at. Should I shop by price? Seller? Weight? Thickness of the chuck body? Length of jaw extending beyond the chuck body? Brand? If brand, which ones to avoid or pursue.
