Customer Reviews for VEVOR Metal Lathe Chuck 4-Jaw Independent 5 inch Cast Iron Milling Turning CNC

The price for this chuck is fantastic and you can end up with a decent chuck but only if you are willing to put some time into it. Out of the box it is a bit stiff to open and close. A quick clean up is definitely needed followed by a good oiling of the moving parts. Once that is done, a bit of time with a file is recommended to remove all the little burrs that are left from the manufacturing process. Doesn't take too terribly long and results in a perfectly usable chuck that is reasonably accurate. All in all a good chuck for the money. If you want a chuck that is perfect out of the box, go pay more.......lots more. If you are a hobbyist looking for a chuck for weekend projects or if you need a chuck you won't feel bad about abusing, this is the one for you.

Great chuck!!! bought this for my VEVOR MX-750!! Great fit, had to drill a couple holes but fit perfectly. I took it apart, cleaned it and lubricated it and it's great, smooth as silk and just what I needed. Thanks Vevor for another great product!!!

I ordered this chuck thinking it would fit my VEVOR 7 x 14 mini lathe. It did not as it is not compatible with the lathe. I had some discussion with the supplier who offered me money to keep it. I tried making an adaptor but gave up on that. At no stage was a refund offered. I eventually accepted $30 to keep it. I think VEVOR should make it clear as to what accessories fit which lathes. Apart from that issue the lathe is of acceptable quality considering the price, but not as good as an old British lathe I once had which originally sold for around 30 pounds. A lathe has limited use without a 4 jaw chuck.

Seems well made and easy to dial in. Had to deburr the edges of the jaws just a bit to get them to slide smoothly, but no big deal. Happy with the value of this.

The chuck seems pretty well built. There isn't a lot of slop in the jaws and they run in and out smoothly. I'm sure it'll be even better when I've had a chance to clean the packing grease off of it. I have to make a backplate for it before I can mount it on my lathe but it looks like a perfect size for my 9x20 lathe. The machining looks good and there are no obvious defects. For the price, it looks to be a good deal so far.

Item was better than expected. Excellent quality and price.

exactly the chuck i wanted. seller was very responsive to inquiries. overall, very pleased

Surprisingly good quality chuck. Solid and well made. I machined a cast iron backplate for it and installed it on my 9 x 20 lathe. (I think it is the perfect size for this lathe; imho a six inch chuck would be too big.) The jaws seemed a bit sticky at first but this was solved by a thorough cleaning. The only negative was the number of sharp edges on the jaws and chuck face, but again this was easily fixed. I chucked up a back gear housing and adjusted center to within 0.0005, (the limit of my DTI), so it works well for me. I would buy it again.

This is a Great chuck for the 7x mini lathe. Need to have an adapter plate to use it.This chuck is well built and quality seen good.It is an independent chuck and not a self centering chuck and requires a little chucking skill.Over all it a A+.

Well built 4 jaw chuck, no complaints.
