[pgmrdan]

Have any of you tried these Taig chucks and what did you think about them? Did they fit and did they register properly?

Maybe the 'atla' means these were made for Atlas made lathes. (?) I dunno. But then it would be a given that they work with the Craftsman. They're not big chucks but big enough for me usually.

Now if they just had an independent 4 jaw.

I use the independent 4 jaw and 3 jaw scroll chucks on my SB9A a lot. I need to spring for the MT3 to 3/4x16 ashore, but for now I just use a sleeve on my MT2 arbor. They are great for small work, and relatively inexpensive. With the soft jaws on the 3 jaw chuck you can bore them for the project and get good low runout on multiple parts, at that particular diameter.
