I have four Precision Machine 3" screw center chucks, two of the 1 3/4" screw center chucks, and two of the (now discontinued) 4 3/4" screw center chucks. I first bought a couple of these twenty years ago, and have added more from time to time. I've found PM to produce an exceptional product and tolerance is within a few thousandths for all of them. I much prefer steel faceplates to aluminum. These will withstand use and abuse, and will last longer than you will! It is a good idea to get the replacement screw. I have modified one of my chuck center screws for a special purpose, and eventually you probably will, too.....have another one on hand. I have multiple screw center chucks, so that remounting of unfinished work is possible without the need to re-install the chuck. This insures perfect alignment on subsequent remounts.

I like to turn 12" and above Decorated Bowls and for that it has been somewhat difficult with the Vicmarc100 but this has been the case until I had the Vicmarc 120 from Craft supplies USA with the larger Jaws. I now have no problems holding to 31" Wall Platter. Thank you very much for the excellent quality of the items supplied . Doc.TA

I was switching from a very old 1MT lathe to a new(er) Rikon 70-050VS so I puchased the reducer so I could continue using the older 1MT centers while I bought newer 2MT replacements. Upon inserting the reducer I found that it bottomed out in the headstock before making proper contact around the collar, but this was easily corrected by cutting 7/8" off the bottom (most of the black part). After that it worked perfectly. This issue probably only exists with specific smaller lathes.

I have ben thoroughly impressed with the Vicmarc 120 Chuck. Solid, precision engineering with superior holding power on dry/wet and soft or hard wood. Tightening the jaws is smooth and solid with very secure grip. 5" jaws are adequate for most medium to big jobs and tool accessories are easy to use and fit well. Overall, this is a great first chuck for any woodturner and I would recommend it highly! Dave from AZ

I heard about these and finally decided to take a look at them..Initial thought was "WOW 40.00"..Looked around and found some cheaper but went with this center..Glad I did,its a good quality pen center that is dead quiet and works like a charm..It saves a lot of time looking for spacers and putting the knurled nut on the mandrel.. Totally glad I bought this..Highly recommend for any pen maker out there that wants to keep their mandrel straight and save time with setup..
