a lot of chuck for the money.
(and an apron, the wearing of which will make you paint one leg of your furniture a different colour )

Wow, look at all of those 5 star reviews. They almost seem too good to be true :wink:

Well, we all know it's Rutlands. From what I've heard they're not bad chucks, though.

I’ve had a leather apron for a few years now but I mustn’t be wearing it properly as I paint all legs the same colour - do you think you have to wear a massive flat cap at the same time......?

Yes it's good value for a beginner.
It runs concentric when tightened but there is a lot of play before it gets to that point & there are a lot of rough edges. Some of the jaws rust if not cleaned after turning wet wood, as do the screws.
I would like to see proof of "Used by over 100,000 professional and discerning woodturners worldwide".
