"Yandle's service is superb, the chuck was shipped next day. The product itself is of great quality
I'm a huge record power fan, and this chuck just reaffirms my belief in their offerings
"

"This chuck is light years ahead of the old Record chuck that I bought 25 years ago, which although came with a screw and pin chuck, was really limited in its "holding" capacity.
The SC4 chuck is really good, and although there's an optimum size for a dovetail or tenon on the workpiece, it will grip a range of sizes. with each set of jaws. The Chuck is very well made, and runs perfectly true without any vibration, And having a Hex Key to tighten it is a lot better than the type used on the SC3.
One great feature is that it's "future proof' by the use of adapters, it can be fitted to (in my case} a 3/4 x 16 tpi lathe , but will also fit a brand new machine.
The only minor down points being the plastic case is made from very brittle material, and considering the weight of the chuck it holds, is easily broken, the box on mine was smashed on receipt.
The finish is excellent apart from the "S" shaped tool to remove the chuck, it looks like it's been stamped out of a sheet of metal, and not finished at all, all of the edges being really sharp and uncomfortable to hold, I had to use "wet and dry" on it to eliminate the sharp edges before use.
All in all though, a really impressive versatile addition to the lathe, "

"I am a newcomer to wood turning. This my first Chuck purchase. Delightful with quality and the added value of the package. I have been using the chuck for about two months without any problems. Thoroughly recommend this product."

"Very happy with the product I bought Carman a new Chuck for my Wood lathe, very helpful staff very prompt delivery well packaged, couldn’t be happier. Many thanks"
By TonyBown on 3rd April 2023
"The SC4 is my first wood turning chuck. I’m new to wood turning but I can already tell that this chuck was a good choice and I look forward to expanding its capabilities with the many jaw choices that Record offer. I chose the thread insert version because I have an entry level lathe with which I wanted to confirm my interest in wood turning. Having done so, I will buy a serious machine and still be able to use the adaptable SC4.
All my previous experience of Record tools has been positive and the Record Power SC4 is no different.
Superb product, excellent package and very good value from Yandles."
By JimDenham on 10th February 2023

"Great service again Yandles. Bare bones chuck so that I didn’t have to keep remounting face plates etc, just the job"
By Paul on 27th September 2022
"Love it. It is replacement of Nova chuck and proved to be a great leap forward. Great engineering and complete with face Plate and Woodscrew proves to be good for new owner and upgrader."
By LesParker on 21st September 2022
"Arrived in good condition but took longer than expected due to the postal strike. Fitted my lathe and runs true as expected. Watch out readers for the very small
Leather friction pads in the wrapping. I am pleased with how it grips and it’s flexibility for further attachments. Yes recommended. Thanks Yandles."
By JamesDelaney on 14th September 2022

"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)"

By TonyLeeding on 29th May 2020

"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"

"Excellent service great chuck. "
By andyparamorebtinternetcom on 30th December 2019
"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 :)"
By NeilRenton on 14th September 2019
"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."
By charles b on 3rd December 2016
"in my opinion this is the best chuck out there."
