>I bought a basic Jacobs chuck. I paid just under $100. Made a huge >difference. I know Jacobs is a well-known large chuck manufacturer. Good suggestion Terry. But don't take it for granted that it will be free of run-out just because its a Jacobs. We have two of them at our place, and one should be have been returned when it was purchased. I'd recommend taking a dial gauge along to your supplier and checking it in a drill with a piece of round ground stock as a test piece. Even some of the Chinese stuff is testing straight these days, but sometimes they fail because the heat treating isn't.
