Chucks?

Hello again,
I have been putting the stuff together to get a shop built again and I have been looking at these three legged chucks as I have given into making a simple rubber banded job.
Would these be strong enough to use for a wrapping machine and would they be self centering?
How's the ease of use and dependability?
Would they have a threaded shaft and if so would you know the thread pitch and diameter?

The part I am mentioning is list at Mudhole as part number PWP9.

Thanks for any information you may be able to supply,


Tight wraps and lines,
Wylie

Which "three legged chucks" - there are lots of them out there for sale. In very general terms - if it's good enough for a "real" lathe either
wood or metal then it will work for you.

I have one of those chucks from mudhole. Has a shaft not threaded. Don't like it. Does not stay tight, unless you really tighten the heck out of it. I also am looking for a chuck. Light, selfcentering, with a shaft to use on a drill. Even a threaded shaft will work.

Thanks guys,
Looks like I better use the spare chuck that comes with the Jet lathe for the rod wrapper.
