I'm thinking of upgrading to a Hardinge 5c speed chuck for my jet lathe. It has a D1-4 mount and has a cheap 5c closer on it. It does not run concentric. It's a direct mount and other than grinding the taper I see now way of getting it to run concentric.
I've never used a speed chuck before. I do see one draw back for it, I don't have a foot brake to stop the spindle to lock the chuck to tighten and loosen it. I usually just shift it to low if I need to lock the spindle.
There are a couple of them on ebay. Any drawbacks to using one that I'm not aware of?
