Lathe chucks
#10
Given the off shoring of Jacobs chucks I believe you're better off buying used and rebuilding as necessary.  Its fairly easy to tell if a Jacobs chuck was made in the US or China.  The US versions will have Jacobs, etc engraved/roll stamped in the body.  Chinese versions are laser etched.

Personally when & if a new chuck needs to be purchased I'm going with a Rohm.  BTW, an Albrecht is also excellent.
