I bought 2 chucks from ebay. they were listed as "Taig wood turning" One is a 3 jaw, the other a 4 jaw, both self centering.
the 3 jaw looks exactly like the 3 jaw I already have except there are holes for a tommy bar on only one side, same for the four jaw.
They also came with cork washers with 1/2" holes. I presume I can use these for metal?
I did not see these on the Taig web site. Any information? Thanks; Don
 
Pictures would help. But most wood chucks don't have the holding force.
 
The 3-jaw I got with that description is smaller that the Taig but holds as well if not better than the Taig 3-jaw. The 4-jaw Taig chuck holds much better than either 3-jaw. Using two chuck keys, you can center pretty quickly with the 4-jaw. I use them for metal.
 
I discovered that they also have a "lock". The jaws do not come out when you open the jaws all the way, they come to a stop on both the 3 and 4 jaw. don
