"Great piece of kit, solidly built, and offers me more mounting options than the basic lathe package I have( beginner/novice).
Competitively priced and great service from Yandles.

"Yandle’s really went above and beyond, I ordered the SC4 but measured the thread size wrong, I contacted sales and they organised for me to return the adapter and sent out the correct size. Both delivery of the chuck and the new adapter was very quick (couple of days)"

"Great chuck "
By TonyLeeding on 29th May 2020
"I could not fault the service that have received from Yandles 'SUPERB' is the only word! The Chuck has yet to prove it's worth but having used Record Products in past that should not be a problem."

"Great bit of kit. "
By MarkWebb on 21st April 2020
"Nice chuck...good price and with all the features that I was after.
Hope it stays bright, similar construction and steel to a shaft coupling I bought for my boat recently!
Used it a couple of times, only time will tell."
By DavidJohnson on 26th January 2020
"Apart from the plastic box being broken, I am unable to comment on the Scroll Chuck itself as I am stll awaiting the Record Coronet Herald.Although I was later advised that the feet for the lathe would not be available until the end of January, I was not advised at the time of placing the order, even though the payment went out of my bank account via PayPal"

"Bought the sc4 for larger pieces..I have a sc3 and had a sc3 which were both exellent...the sc4 is even better ...well engineered ...fits tight up to headstock..the price is much better than axminster or Robert Sorby equivalent...great service from Yandles "
By PaulSpencer on 9th October 2019
"Excellent piece of equipment, delighted with it, so useful as well."
By Aidan on 1st October 2019
"This is a great 'standard' pattern chuck that seems to be compatible with the Bob Sorby Patriot Chuck, Technotools' Nova chucks and several other chucks which I forget the name of right now (NOT Axminster though). This cross compatibility means that you can use other manufacturer's jaws, so if you need a set of jaws which Record don't make, don't worry... just look further afield. This is the main reason why I settled on this style of chuck.
Another reason was that my Tyme Cub lathe's headstock screw size isn't one of the mainstream sizes (such as M33x3.5) - instead it's ¾" x 16tpi. The SC4 was one of the few chucks for which I could buy an insert in the size that I needed. A nice touch was that the insert came included in the price as well.
Gripes? Only minor stuff. The chuck has very sharp edges on the jaw slide ways and more noticably on the jaws themselves (when extended out past the side of the chuck. I have been tempted to file these down, but the chuck is still quite new and shiny and not a workhorse of the shop (yet!). I'll probably wait until I mash up the chuck a bit more before breaking out the files and sandpaper. Another gripe is that the chuck doesn't have the same jaw change mechanism of the Easy Chuck ;)
All in all a great chuck, well built and it's one of the cheapest of these 'clone' chucks from a Western supplier. I may check out the Chinese copy of these chucks at some point in the future - if they are half decent, I could have one chuck per set of jaws... no more changing jaws :)"

"Great value and rapid delivery, cannot recommend too highly "
By Nial on 2nd September 2019
"Fantastic chuck for a reasonable price. It is great that this comes with whatever insert is needed for your lathe so that if you change lathe to a different size thread then it will just cost you the £15-£18 for a different insert, also handy if you have a couple of lathes and want to swap the chuck from one to the other.
Super well balanced and seriously well built. It grips extremely well and there are a huge amount of different jaw sets you can buy if you want and they are also very good value.
It comes packaged with a great faceplate, worm screw and standard jaws and if you also buy yourself a square end drive centre (£15) then you can put the chuck on and not have to remove it as it will have you covered for all jobs.
I can't recommend this chuck highly enough. It is brilliant and worth the money all day long."
By KeithLangelaan on 29th August 2019
"Very nice chuck, in all honesty apart from the plastic material indexing backplate, which I will unlikely use, I can't tell the difference between the Record & the Sorby other than price. I already ordered one of these for our local Mens Shed, this one goes on my beautiful new Herald lathe. Recommend both the chuck & the lathe. "
By AlanRose on 12th August 2019
"Got this Record SC4 chuck package and the 62323 long nosed jaws at the same time. very pleased with both and good price and delivery from Yandles as always."
By JohnGunstone on 29th May 2019
"Brilliant chuck so easy to use makes life much better"
By EskoHerrala on 16th December 2018
"I am using this with Record DML320 midi woodworking lathe. Mechanically very sturdy and seems to be also very precise. Assembly instruction were clear and one should read them before starting. There is small leather "chip" that should be placed inside chuck to prevent locking screw from damaging lathe M33 thread! So far nothing to complain."
By Tony Laird on 10th October 2018
"I have upgrade to the Record CL4, and wanted a chuck which would go well with my new lathe.
The SC4 is a very strong chuck, which you only need one hand for,excellent bit of kit."
By David Mackinnon on 11th April 2018
"Excellent product and first class service."
By Martin on 25th February 2018
"Great chuck, grips well even on very green wood and a heavy cut. This Record package includes more than any of the rival offerings and at a far better price. I've been turning for many years and never bought a chuck because you can do it all without one but seeing this price I finally caved in and am glad that I did. Best price was with Yandles and am pleased to say that delivery was prompt."
By Max Ritchie on 31st October 2017
"Excellent price and very efficient service in all respects."

"in my opinion this is the best chuck out there."
