KingTool 4 Pcs Drill Chuck Set - 1/2-Inch Drill Chuck with Chuck Key with #1 (JT33-MT1) and #2 (JT33-MT2) Morse Taper Arbor

Sturdy, fits my Rikon lathe well. Have not had the chance to use it fully yet but it seems that it will do everything I need it to

I bought this chuck because the one on my drill press have a big, worn-out chuck with about .006 in. of run-out at the bit and I wanted better. At first I was not happy with the .004 I was getting, but tried resetting the arbor at four points (0,90,180, and 270 degrees) until I go the best runout reading then did the same with the chuck. At the end of the process I measured (several times to be sure) and was getting well below 0.001 in. run-out at the bit. I don't know what is "good" for drill press chuck runouts, but I am very happy to go from .006 to .001 for $33.

well made and works well

good chuck for lathe

The chuck arrive on time and very well packaged. After unboxing, all parts were encased in foam, wrapped in plastic and had a light coat of machine oil on their surface for preservation. The #2 MT tailpiece seats perfectly and firmly into the chuck with only a slight tap. The chuck is very well machined with a flawless finish. The jaw action is smooth and precise. The kit comes with the chuck, #1 and #2 Moria Taper tail pieces and a perfectly fitting chuck key. All pieces are expertly machined, finished and packaged. I will definitely buy another one of these in the very near future. A great value for the money!!

I replied a 40 year old chuck with this one and it fit perfectly. The runout with a small drill bit it almost zero. Works smoothly.

Just received it yesterday and used it this morning on my lathe. I like the fact that it can fit both size tapers. I have two lathes and each have different size taper , one small and one larger. I used it to make a screwdriver handle and will come in handy on other projects. High quality and I am very pleased with my purchase.

It works well. Not sure how I did anything with out it
