    This is how bad the Vevor chuck was out of the box. I could barely turn the chuck key.

    Yep, it's a 6". Here's the first stage done. Once I had the section of material I was going to use faced and trued, I took it over to a friends and used his large bandsaw to cut it off. Then re-chucked it and the 6 jaw re-centered very well.

    Recently picked up a 6 jaw from Vevor. Had to do some work to it right off the bat to make it function properly. Works good now and I can hold larger material. In the process of making a rotary table fixture plate.

    Not happy with the quality from Vevor lately. That one you have works great in a vise.

    I would check into shipping cost. Sometimes that's where they will get you.
