In looking at electronic chucks today I noticed that the standard chuck comes with longitudinal poles and the fine pole chuck comes with transverse poles.
I think I understand the benefits of going with a finer pole spacing, but I don't really understand the tradeoffs of pole orientation, and I wasn't able to find much searching "longitudinal vs transverse" on here.
Is this just an issue that transverse pole orientation requires more total laminations and is therefore only an acceptable cost on fine pole chucks that already carry a premium or is there more to it than that?
