Pen Chuck - Help!

[Johnathan]

I'd like to start making closed end pens. I bought what I guess you could call a madrel from Fangar for the Jr. Statesman, and now I need a chuck for my Jet lathe (#2). Does anyone have any opinions? What am I saying? I know you all have opinions! Please help. I saw one on CSUSA but it seemed a little expensive. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks[8D]

Harbor Frieght has one for $9.99. A lot of us have them and they work great.

you can get a jacobs chuck (drill chuck ) for under $30 and it will work okay.

or the best way is a beall collet chuck
