I accidentally ordered the wrong size chuck and couldn't use it, so I can't really give an in-depth review. However, it was heavy for its size and felt pretty solid. It turns pretty smoothly when you open and close it. Unfortunately, Vevor doesn't sell the MT2, which is what I needed; otherwise, I would order another one. If you plan on buying this for your Vevor lathe (I purchased the 8"x14"), I recommend measuring your lathe first. I bought this because the Vevor lathe I purchased said it uses an MT3, but it uses an MT2. If you are buying a lathe, I would wait until you receive the lathe before you buy this chuck. I'm not sure how many other Vevor lathes have product descriptions that list the wrong size.
