woodworms on an Axminster?

I have an Axminster, 3" chuck (if I remember correctly, several folks here also have that chuck).

I notice that several of the other manufacturers (such as Oneway and Nova) offer a "woodworm" to be used with their chucks.

I am wondering if any Axminster owners have tried these other makers' woodworms with their Axminster? I don't think Axminster offers a woodworm, do they?

Ed,

Thanks for the link. It looks like Axminster does make a woodworm for at least some of their chucks. I am not sure that they make one for the 3" chuck. Can't tell from the website.

In any case, I can't find anyone in the states who sells a woodworm for the Axminster. I called CSUSA--where I got the Axminster 3" key chuck in the first place--and they don't carry a woodworm.


So, I guess I'll go with a 1 3/4" screw chuck...probably just as good.
