Help on wood chuck
I am new in this field of wood turning and I am using a GMC lathe and I would like to upgrade it with a chuck.
Why are there so many different prices (logically there is a quality matter) but I would like to know what is best to buy at a reasonable range for my lathe.
there are 3 different ones that I am interested in
1 - Woodfast
2. Tecknatool
3. Vicmarc
all the above is 95 - 100mm.
Which one of the above three is the best to get?
Your feedback would be most helpful.

Buy a decent lathe, putting a chuck on a gmc lathe is like putting icing on a cow pat.
Apart from that..
The woodfast is a cheapie, they are still very good though, I have one.
Nova chucks are Made in New Zealand or China
Anything Vicmarc is top shelf and Australian made

The only professional turned I know uses a Vicmarc. They are top quality and I would get one of those if the price difference is not too great. I have personally had good luck with the Nova chucks.
