Anyone have experience with a Kitagawa QB series chuck? Can I expect repeatable concentricity accuracy as good as a regular automatic Chuck with soft jaws? Or do the quick change jaw mount surfaces wear too much? We use our CNC lathe a lot like a manual lathe, so runout/repeatable concentricity is critical. Can I expect the quick change jaws to remain repeatable within 0.001" or less between changes? How do I post a picture to this thread?
 
Kitagawa is a premium chuck. I have used both manual, and power chucks from them and both have been stellar. You should comfortably get repeatability of .001"

I had a Schunk quick change it it's repeatability was essentially perfect.
