Thumbs up for graduate owners.
Axminster's online page is showing the Evoution SK114 chuck as available in 1 1/2 x 6 R/L, with the comment - despatching soon. I had heard that these were no longer being offered in Graduate thread, and it did say on the Axminster site that they were out of stock and not likely to be available again. So any Graduate users looking for one of these - now might be the time to get one. Not cheap though (£260) but I have one and they are really well made. Expect to pay quite a high price for jaws too. I also have a chuck from Rutlands, came as a set complete with about 5 sets of jaws, all for £200 BUT - only available as 1" x 8tpi or with a (free) adapter. Mine does give some runout on my other lathe - denford viceroy, but I might have been unlucky there.
