I bought this Universal Chuck in 1979 from Woodcraft when they were located in Woburn, Massachusetts. At the time, Woodcraft was one of the only woodturning resources I knew about. I had never seen any similar chucks on the market. I really enjoyed getting away from the traditional mounting methods of wood to lathe; screws, glue blocks, etc.. I was taught to screw on a blank and carve out the bottom after turning, which was way too much work. I got into woodturning through carving and that is how I found Woodcraft. I spent close to$100.0 for the chuck. In today’s economy, I’m guessing it would be the price of a Vicmarc.
