Great drill chuck, well priced, works as advertised. The tab at the end of the taper is a hold-out from a metal lathe. The tab is aligned vertically when inserted into the tailstock, it locks into a slot in the tailstock which helps it grip better.

I bought this chuck to work with my Excelsior Mini Lathe. Wasn't sure if I needed a #1 or #2 Morse taper and couldn't find the lathe specs. Anyway, I bought the #2 and it seems to work just fine. One comment for consideration: The description of the chuck didn't make clear that it was a taper fit. I expected a 1/2" X 8 TPI threaded unit. Anyhow, I'm happy with the set up.

I bought the Chuck with a #2 Taper for my Craftsman Mini lathe. Right out of the box I was impressed with the fit and finish. It is working nicely and seems very durable. I question the tab at the end of the taper, I have to remember to extend the Tail Stock a little before installing the chuck but that's not a big deal. Very nice product, highly recommended.

This is a good solid drill chuck. It holds well and is well aligned. I do have a gripe with the pictured #2 taper. The tab at the end does not fit into either the headstock or the tailstock of my Delta 46-460. So I ground it off. Then it works fine. I don't really see the purpose of it. The chuck is keyed and should require no assistance other than the key to open. The taper is popped out by a ram so what exactly is that tab for I don't know. Grinding it off was annoying and time consuming. So I knocked down the rating 1 point.

I have a Jet mid sized lathe. Since I am new to turning and what works with what I bought the #2 taper with the chuck. It is the correct size and both work well with my lathe. The taper is a bit longer then the ones I have been using, though, so when I put it in the tailstock I need to extend it out a bit for the taper to seat in all the way. Other then that they both work great and I am very happy.
