   I bought one of those and it has proved fairly handy but I found as   
   supplied it had quite a bit of run-out and the chuck wasn't square. I   
   separated the chuck from the 5C backplate and found that was badly   
   machined but once correctly machined it now runs quite true for a cheap   
   chuck.
