Customer Reviews

Good chuck for the money
I've had this chuck for over a year now and have used it quite a bit. I find it easy to use and reliable. You get a fairly complete set of jaws as part of the standard package - I added the large flat jaws but wish they were even bigger.

Someone asked about the screws holding the jaws on - I also worried about losing one or more in the shavings when I was changing the jaws so I contacted PSI and asked them about buying some more. The sent me eight screws free. If you're having problems (like with the allen wrench), contact them. I've always found them extremely responsive.

smooth chuck system
very smooth operating chuck system, even added the jumbo flat jaws to mine, makes turning a snap. I too had the problem with the hex head screws, the wrench they sent was a 3.0mm, and the screws are actually a 5.0 mm. If anyone knows how to find replacement screws, please post. hard to find in any hardware store. All-in-all, best bang for the buck.

CSC3000C CHUCK
The chuck seems to work fine, but the hex wrench that came as part of the kit does not fit the screws that holds the various parts of the lathe chuck adaptors at all. An sae 1/8th inch hex key will remove and replace the flat head screws but they are a very poor fit and over time will probably round out screws. Quality control is very poor in this area.
