I need a drill chuck for my little mill, 6x26 mill, R8 collet.
I tried unsucessfully to derust & cleanup a couple old Jacobs chucks.
Now I'm looking at just outlay some money and start over.
Then the thought occurred to me to get one of those small 3-jaw lathe chuck, the little 3" 3-jaw small lathe chuck.
What would be the pro's & con's of doing this instead of a Jacobs?
looks to me like the little lathe chuck will close down to a .080 drill bit.
something like this?
