OK, I have read and reread the scroll chuck posts going back a couple of years or so. There are so many firm convictions about chucks, yet I am still uncertain. I am sure leaning towards purchasing the Grizzly $99 scroll chuck and adding the accessory jaws. I have very limited turning experience, but have been making a lot of shavings (and dust) out of neighbor's firewood. I'd like to try something a little more daring, like a bowl or dish with the base held in one of these hi-fallootin internal/external foot grasping scroll chucks. The Grizzly looks and feels fine (I've fondled one a couple of times with lust in my eyes). In what ways am I apt to be remorseful if I do the deed? Old Chief Lynn

If you will continue to turn and want to turn some of the projects out there that all the boys are turning, you will be very glad you have the scroll chuck. It elimantes a lot of different holding devices and adds a lot to your speed. Are you actually a Chief? Robert

Mine never make it that far, I have two potter friends that want every chip I do for pit firing

If that's the Grizzly H6265, I have one (too) and it works fine for me. MUCH more convenient than the independent 4-jaw chuck I received with the lathe.

I do wish I had a couple of the expensive ones to compare it with, though.
