Hazel ★★★★★

The 1.57-inch through hole is perfect for my larger stock, and swapping jaws was simple with the included wrench. Mounting bolts were a nice bonus that saved me a trip to the hardware store.

James ★★★★★

Swapped out my old four-jaw for this three-jaw self-centering model and the included inside and outside jaws made setup a breeze. The 1.57-inch through hole lets me handle larger stock without any hassle. Very happy with how it grips and centers my workpieces.

Jacob U. ★★★★★

The 40 mm through hole is a real time-saver for long bar work, and the self-centering action grabs stock dead true every time. Swapped in the outside jaws for a bowl project and they locked down tight with zero wobble.
