I have ONE question for all users of these power wrappers
If these chucks keep losening up

Do any of the LATH CHUCKS losen up ??? These are used at very high speed I would not want a piece at say 6000 rpm flying off a lath in my face

Sounds to me none of the power wrapper chucks are worth it

No offence to the companies making them

Butt Jee They all seem to not work ?????

Why do all have to have RUBBER BANDS wrapped around them DAAAAA

The first two things I was thinking of is
Maybe the jaws should not be as long as they are OR maybe the rubber in them should be softer to grab whatever better OR they should be MADE better ???? Do ya think

HAY I don't know But Some thing is Funky In Denver I keep reading the same posts
Why not just get a Lath Chuck for your power wrapper

What if Like I do with my Home Made Drill Lath -- put a piece of scrap blank into the chuck
Tighten it up -- Then adjust the rollers to fit the blank or scrap piece and this way the Chuck Is Set and aliened to the rollers

Could it be THAT SIMPLE
