Hi Bob

without wishing to knock RDG who have been very helpful and fair
throughout, I'm about to return a second HBM chuck to them, both were
screwed body chucks.  Neither of them ran square to the spindle on my
Super 7, see the recent posts on "new chuck".

You are looking at a chuck that will need a back plate (not trying to
teach you to suck eggs etc) so you shouldn't have the problem I've
had.

The chucks seem fairly well made but for a 160mm chuck I'd have
expected the key end to be bigger than 6mm square.

Just to say again, I'm happy to keep buying from RDG, they've been
fine.

cheers

Toby
