Albrecht 73040 CP130-R8 1/32"-1/2" Classic Plus Keyless Drill Chuck With Integral Shank

The Taiwanese chucks are Chinese, The Chinese Chucks are Chinese, and the American Chucks, are Chinese (Jacobs)Albrecht makes their own chucks, in thier own factory, controlling ALL facets of quality, from materials, to fit, to finish!A Chinese chuck came with my Mill. (SX3)It had so much runout, the resulting hole, was more of an 'oval' than a hole.I checked runout to be around .007" To a machinist, this translates to scrap metal.I immediately took steps to acquire the CP-130 Albrect Chuck with an integrel R8 shank.My runout went from .007" to .00013"! Yeah it costs more; but you could say the same comparing a KIA to a BMW !LIGHT YEARS DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY !I've mailed my Chinese Chuck back to the reseller with instructions to fill up his landfill with this part, instead of my landfill!Why bother to make such BS to begin with? Go to Albrecht. Go DIRECTLY to Albrecht, Do NOT PASS GO, DO NOT SPEND A DIME ON THE CHINESE CHUCK! SPEND the $300.+ and be happy!Albrecht. The best there is IMHO ! Used them for decades, never regretted! PRECISION !

Bought this to replace the stock chuck on my milling machine which had excessive run out. Looked at Jacobs and South Bend, Bison and others and settled on Albrecht. This is certainly an expensive chuck, but it runs true and holds fast.
