Recently I picked up a clarkson autolock chuck for the mill. I'm a bit of a newb so didn't really know too much about them.

I got it for a song because it came for free with another item.

Over time I had collected some cutters suitable for it but of course, they remained unused.

I gave it a go last weekend and I have to say I really like it. Everything felt, well, great.

I know they're old school now and everything is ER or the like, but I have to say, it just felt solid and worked well.

I understand the CNC unfriendlyness, but anybody else still using them and like them?

Greg.
