Well... yes and no. I just picked up a small (NOS) Rohm keyless chuck on ebay. Good German brand right?
I tried finding a good quality straight shank arbor for it with a 1/2"-20 thread. I couldn't do it. Had to go Chinese yet again because they are the only ones that have them. The usual suspects only offer MT or CAT arbors with that thread.
Lot of good it does to buy a decent chuck to have to screw it to a junk arbor. Although I also recently bought an R-8 shell mill arbor too that is made in the USA. That turned out to be junk too after I passed on the imports. Can't win these days unless you can afford the big names for big bucks.
