Having seen at least one manufacturer referring to using other peoples jaw adaptors, does anyone have Chucks from more than one manufacturer to compare the Jaw Fixing Hole centres etc. (Nova & Record for instance)
I have tried talking to the various reps. but obviously they do not want to divulge or be party to admitting that the hole centres are compatable.
I ask because as with all things purchased there comes a time when the accessory sold by a rival company is just what you were looking for and if they are interchangeable then, well, I can be my own judge as to the engineering safety aspects.
It also opens up the second hand acquisition market somewhat if they have at least a limited interchangeability.
