Dakota Precision Scroll Chuck Kit

[Drew]

Hi

Rutlands are offering this at the moment "Dakota Precision Scroll Chuck Kit". Are they worth the money? Are they any good? I would be grateful for anybody's input.

The only downside I can see is the lack of jaw options, namely the cole jaws for reversing bowls etc to remove chucking spigots etc? I have the xt450 , its baby brother and th build quality is fine for the price but if you cannot get jaws then its use is limited.

Thanks for that Nev. I think I'll put a bit more thought into this, no sense of rushing into buying.

all the best

I seem to remember, rightly or otherwise, the Dakota takes the Nova jaws and the Sorby Patriot jaws.

Worth checking out especially if the chuck is low price.

Regards

Very good chuck (10 year warranty) and it shows you the other jaws available on the page.
