Products TM32KL 1/2-Inch Keyless Drill Chuck with #2 Morse Taper Arbor (1/2" 2MT Keyless)

I needed a good quality 2MT drill chuck for my new JET wood lathe. I had a Jacobs keyed chuck but with a 1MT. After doing some research, found favorable reviews on the PSI chuck. Got this within a week and thanks to Amazon consistently fast shipping . I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this part for it appears solid and well made. The jaws move very smooth and seems precise and tight which is very important for a drill chuck. The collar is thick and has deep knurled surface for good grip which is very useful in tightening the chuck even with sweaty hands. The 2MT taper fits precisely and very snug in my lathe spindle. I have used the chuck to drill large holes with my Fostner bits and the chuck held rigid and rock solid during the operations. I expect this to last a long time as it is a static tool with very little moving parts. So in summary this appears to be a good deal for the money.Pros: Solid and heavy construction. Smooth moving and tight fitting jaws. Precise and tight fit to 2MT spindle. Excellent price point for the quality, i.e value for money*****.Cons: None so far. New in my hands so the question of durability.

Finally decided to pick up one of these and can't believe I turned this long without it. It works great and is so convenient having the keyless chuck.

This is a game changer for me. It's a solid and heavy chuck, very easy to tighten and does not slip. This is a lot more accurate (true) than the standard keyed chuck I've been using for a few years. Wish I had bought it sooner.

I guess I should not have been surprised. PSI products have not let me down yet!! Nice high quality, I use it in my tail stock and it performs well. It has the weight and feels good and firm when tighten. At this price you will be more than pleased. Also looks good when mounted.

Solid. Arrived with arbor not installed.

I put this on a well dated Delta that should have hit the scrap pile some time ago, but this chuck corrected nearly all the run out issues I was having with the factory chuck.

My earlier review:"I must have received the only dud of everyones. Mine has a runout exceeding 12 thou. :(Otherwise it is an excellent bit of kit. Its well made, nicely finished and it grips like crazy. Easy to undo too."... ADDED NEWNESS:Well, after having a very serious think about this and not wishing to be wrongly accusing, I went to the shed, removed the chuck, cleaned every surface, tripple checked for surface niggles and then reset it back in the quill. Gave it a few love taps with the persuader onto a wood noggin and viola! Rechecked and down to just under 3 thou.Marvelous. Very happy to give 5 stars... might even buy another for the lathes tailstock (which this was originally for!)

I ordered this keyless chuck with taper and a day later I only received the taper.

6 months of use and here's my report.Not really machinest grade but fantastic for woodworking. Huge range of hold, easy to install and uninstall when you need something different. Good holding strength. Haven't had any bits slip.Highly recommend for anyone that does mostly soft metals and wood working.

Nice quality and holds the bit well. Stays in place well.

liked this product worked well and was smooth operating

Great simple product. Make sure it is tightened prior to rotating lathe full speed!

I use this to drill pen blanks and works like a charm without having to search for a chuck key. Was a bit worried about the hold but it hugs bits very tight with only moderate tightening force. Great buy.
