I've started shopping around for a 4-jaw for the Logan lathe.
Looking at available options, I started to wonder if looking for a chuck threaded for the spindle (2 1/4" x 8 TPI) or look for backing plates to switch to a camlock style.
Any thoughts or opinions ?
If camlock is better options, which type would you recommend ?
