Hi John,
The Axminster SK114 is a great chuck, made in Axminster, England. almost 30 years ago Axminster introduced the Super Precision Chuck to the woodturning world, which, to my knowledge was the first 4 jaw scroll chuck for the woodturning market. It was made in Poland and was really a metalworking chuck with 2 piece jaws and Axminster designed dozens of jaws and accessories for it. They also made a 100mm Clubman chuck. About 10 years ago, Axminster discontinued the Super Precision Chuck and introduced the SK114 to go with the SK100 and SK80 Clubman chucks. All of the chucks and jaws are made in Axminster England. Axminster chucks are world class, as are the Vicmarc chucks and some of the other brands that have been mentioned.
Today Axminster makes over 40 jaw sets for the SK114, SK100, and SK80 chucks and they are all interchangeable with each other (although practically speaking you may not want to put large SK114 jaws on the SK80 chuck, but you can). If you can think of an application, Axminster will have a jaw set to meet your needs. Their jaws also mate with faceplate rings, 4 prong centers, eccentric chucks, morse taper adapters and more. The product line is incredibly well thought out and beautifully made.
I have used Axminster chucks for 25 years. There are many really good choices for chucks, and Axminster is right there in the top group.
