Works perfect on my lathe tail stock. Good quality for the price.

I bought the 1/2" chuck with R8 shank to use on a Bridgeport mill. I'm using this in a low use application, not a production shop. It smoothly opens and closes across the range. I didn't notice any issues seating the tapered shank. I degreased the mating chuck taper and shank taper. I then deburred both tapers with fine stones (this probably wasn't necessary). I warmed up the chuck in the oven and put the shank in the freezer. I put the two together and quickly gave it a whack with a lead hammer. I drilled some 1/4" holes in aluminum and cold rolled steel so far. I spot drilled first with a collet and then drilled with the chuck. The old mill held under 0.002" on size, and location between holes. No complaints so far. I'll update this review if something comes up. So far I'm happy I took a chance on this affordable option.

Nice product.Heavy product real lightweight box, not taped shut. Then put in a lightweight plastic bubble pack bag. Heavy steel product comes out the light box, then the spindle poked a hole in the base and lost between there and here, ofcourse a new one was shipped the same way, but was lucky the second the. Very inconvenient fir me, because of improperly packing the product for shipping.

Great build quality for the price. Holds bits very well the jaws close very uniformly. No runout that can be seen, it performs wonderfully.

The stock chuck in my Porter Cable PCB660DP was never that great to begin with (runout) and over the years started clamping unevenly. I worked around it by unclamping/reclamping the bit and it was good enough for woodworking. Lately I've gotten into metal working and need a DP with mill-like accuracy. A relatively cheap, big-box store drill press isn't a mill and has a lot more driveline slop.Bought this chuck and arbor combo based on the reviews, to just replace the entire stock assembly and it was a good gamble. Arbor comes packed in it's own hard plastic sleeve and the chuck well-greased up in a plastic bag. Quality of both is very good. Surfaces are clean, smooth and free of tooling marks. The chuck is a little stiff to open/close, but it will loosen up with use.Overall, I think this is a great value.

I used this chuck to replace the one that broke.

Not sure what some are complaining about with regard to the drill bit size. The Earl Diamond Super Heavy Duty Drill Chuck 1/2" Capacity with MT2 Morse Taper 2 Arbor & K32 Key (B16) listed here that I bought, has no problem holding pretty much any drill bit up to 13mm. Just over 1/2". Chuck indicates 0.5mm ~ 13mm.1mm is .03937". A 0.5 mm drill bit (as listed on the side of the chuck) is 0.01968 inch. Who has a drill bit smaller than that? If you did, you probably wouldn't expect a 1/2" drill chuck to make watches Just saying.These jaws almost close tight. When you hold this chuck up to the light before putting it onto the mandrel, can barely see light thru it. Very accurate and very smooth. The only complaint I had, was that I used a micro file on the tips of the three jaws in order to get rid of a very minute finishing burr. This in no way effected the fit and function of the drill chuck or what size drill it accepted. Very well made. Tight and smooth. No regrets. If I needed two, I would definitely buy another.Shoot StraightChoose Wisely
