I guess I should be asking those who own this Rikon lathe. Which chuck to you use. I'm hoping to get a new chuck next year and I would like to know which one to get. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have had better success with the better quality chucks. Oneway, Nova, Record, Vicmark, Easy Chuck, and the like. They handle the use and abuse and keep working.

The cost savings with the "value" chucks that gave grief done the road that was not worth the lower cost.
