The guy wants $250 plus $50 shipping for this Pratt Burnerd 3 jaw. I believe its a Set Rite and is 8-1/4". No back plate, but not big deal. I think they can be had for like $250-270.

Question is, is this a good deal or should I pass? I do alot of work in my scroll 3 jaw and would like a more repeatable chuck.

I dont have any idea what that chuck is worth, but I do notice that it has set screws for making micro adjustments. All scroll chucks have some inconsistencies. On this design, you loosen the mounting bolts on the adapter plate and adjust the set screws to zero the chuck for a particular diameter. This is mostly for production since you have to re adjust the chuck for each new size. If you are not running multiple parts you may as well use a 4 jaw independent chuck.
