Must say no to that, cause I have a 4 jaw for that Big Grin , the more time I spend using the 4 jaw the better/faster I'm getting with it.

Do think the scrolling type will have the advantage if work requires removal. For a test fit and needs to be chucked for finishing. That could get a bit dicey with the independent 4 jaw if not paying attention.


Always good to find out about another way, for no other reason, but for the knowledge gained.
