    Should have been better, shame on you South Bend ---  SEE UPDATES TO THIS REVIEW>>>
  

*by M***. on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2015*

SEE UPDATED REVIEWS BELOW - (top is review on first chuck I sent back, updates below tell rest of story).----After reading so many great reviews I waited eagerly for the South Bend chuck to arrive as an upgrade to my drill press -- South Bend is a name always associated with high quality and the box and chuck itself looked like a nice item --- but I regret the chuck fell short of my expectations, even at this price.  The Chuck was rough and gritty in operation right out of the box, not smooth through its travel, catching and jamming and was actually much worse than the no-name chuck I took off -  - I was very perturbed, and still am - I can see this happening with things from HF but expected more from South Bend - but, like so many things these days it is not made in America and its been sold down the river for higher profits margins.  Unless you spend extravagant sums for US  made goods youre forced to accept what passes for quality in offshore products.  I blew it out with air, ran lube through it and worked it in for awhile until I got it to a semi-useable state.  Its better, but still sticks and hangs up sometimes when opening or closing it to change sizes - Its working but every time it jams just reminds me how disappointed I am to get something like this from South Bend.  I deserve a replacement but don't want to pay return shipping just to probably be disappointed again.  I still want to love the chuck, looks like a nice piece of you get a "good one" but now we have to play the odds on quality and it just wasn't my turn I guess.  Im 56 and remember when you went to buy American products many years back, you could pickany one of an item off the shelf and they would all be well made - we didn't know how good we had it.  I do believe these are nice chucks if you beat the odds and get a good one, but how many times does it take-?--- 1st REVIEW UPDATE:  After more than a week of trying to oil and make this chuck work right, ive given up--- its going back for a replacement in hopes of getting a "good" one.  I really like the chuck and the south bend brand, but my example just isn't right - it works ok for a bit then when you least expect it the thing jams etc. - cant believe any product from South Bend is this bad, I did not believe the one reviewer who titled his review "Junk" but now I see the reason.  Hopefully the replacement will arrive this year and will work.>>> 2nd REVIEW UPDATE:  I just received the warranty replacement for my first defective chuck (thanks Amazon) and I have to say all SouthBend chucks are not created equal.  This second chuck is what the first one should have been, like night and day -- it works perfect, action is smooth and run out is extremely minimal at the nose or on a drill bit, not even worth mentioning in this price range.  Its no $125.00+ Jacobs, but if you get a "good" example its a (very) decent chuck for the price and it only costs a fraction of the High $$$ Jacobs and thats not practical for a low $ press like mine.  Sketchy asian manufacturing quality is a sad reality today, so if ya get a bad one SEND IT BACK FOR A REPLACEMENT till you are satisfied - I did and im not happy about having to wait, but im very pleased I now have an accurate, nice operating SouthBend chuck on my drill press.  Previously this was a two star review, now its five - partly for the chuck and partly for Amazon making the return so easy - All is good now and this one gets a thumbs up from me.

    Nice chuck, couple of nicks, broken storage tray. Still quite pleased. (not  machinist, just using on a cheap drill press)
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2017*

The chuck has a nice weight and feel to it, and the key is a monster (good for holding torque). It operates smoothly, feels like it has nice tolerances, and I like the grip pattern milled into the outer ring. The machining and metal looks great, but some dings on a couple of the edges make it appear that it got dropped at some point before being put into a box. This is just for a drill press, and one that has a wobble anyway, so I'm not overly concerned. In fact, the chuck is probably the nicest part of the drill now :)The chuck comes oiled and bagged in a little box with a yellow plastic tray that would be perfect for putting in a drawer for storage if you were using it on a lathe or mill and needed to switch between tooling often. My tray was cracked and broken, which is fine for how I'll be using it, but you may want to make sure that yours is intact because it would be perfect for storage.

    fits delta 11-990 bench top drill press
  

*by A***C on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2017*

this chuck is a J33 taper  it fits my delta 11-990 bench top drill press very nicely, after looking on the net i found that the delta bench tops use a J33  taper.  all you do to remove it was to strike the upper surface of the  old chuck downward with a wooden dowel and hammer to loosen the  old chuck (you tube is your friend) you may need to rotate and strike a couple of times to loosen it,  clean off the taper and the inside mating surface of the chuck with mineral spirits to degrease both surfaces,  turn the chuck jaws retracted fully into the chuck body,  place a block of wood on the press table and force  down  on the wood with the chuck firmly, i did this twice. seated nicely and is quite a beefy chuck.  not too expensive and was a nice fix to a very worn press.
