I’ve purchased a lot of really nice tools from JSR & Father out of Canada. They are a first rate EBay seller in my opinion. Top quality tools at a fair price with very good service. I really like the old Everede boring bars. I think I purchased about 5 different sizes from them and a bunch of the HSS inserts. It’s an obsolete bar these days with an odd ball insert... so I scrounged all over EBay until I finally have about 10 inserts for each. So I am okay now.
I do really use carbide for general work, but for some oddball stuff I encounter, I pull out my Everede because HSS does give a better finish in my opinion on many jobs.

Yes, when I opened the box they were packed with extra cardboard and thick insulating foam sheet cut to fit exactly. That's the kind of thing that lets me know they do things right. I'm happy and won't hesitate to buy from them again.

Quick turn around too, 1 week from Canada

I found this chuck on EBay. When I saw it, I instantly knew what it was. It’s another oddball. And I think some machinists just would prefer to use a 4 jaw. But, I wanted to give it a shot.
It’s a Rohm 3-jaw scroll lathe chuck with adjustable jaws. It’s like an Adjust-Tru.....but it’s. Three jaw. And a little different design since there’s a 1/4” Allen adjustmen screw integral to the jaw. The jaws are reversible.
Rohm 3-jaw self centering 8” lathe chuck- 1800.00

I took it apart because it was really tight. There was absolutely no swarf in it but the grease was gummed up. Someone put white lithium in it without removing the other clear grease. And yes... Rohm is very specific... this chuck should be greased. Not oil. Grease, so I used wheel bearing grease.
The cost on EBay was 225.00 + 36.00 shipping. This chuck is like brand new. The jaws and scroll and adjusting screws for the jaws are like brand new. They are so damned precisionly machined that the fit is within a half thousandths on the jaws to the steel body.

I have a 9" Rohm just like that on my SB 14 ½...

It's my favorite chuck... it takes some figuring to center a part with 3 adjustable jaws the first few times you use it, but once you get used to it, it is quick and easy. I can get a part centered within a half thousandth in less than a minute now. I really like it... it's a lot easier than a 4 jaw.

Hey that's the online store for my local new/used tool place!
I'm very lucky because I can wander thru the store every weekend.

It is a small but great family run business.

Likely half my workshop comes from them; my Southbend 9", oodles of tooling, files, Darex-E90, tool boxes, micrometers, calipers, Brown-Boggs shear, Chicago brake, drill bits, storage cabinets, etc., etc.

I am also a very happy customer.

I picked up a set of taps and dies this morning... and tomorrow I'm returning to the same seller to pick up a Kennedy toolbox. Packed full of tools.
I'd never seen one before but as soon as I saw the colour I thought it was a Kennedy, The nameplate confirmed it.
No pic yet but I will when I pick it up.
