Does the new st15 8 1/4" chucks use kitagawa or MMK size soft jaws ? I asked the local HFO and he just looked at me like I was stoned ,,, so I called Haas factory and they sales guy there had "NO" idea what I was asking.

Last time I've checked, Haas went CHEAP on their chucks and switched to Samchully.
Samchully is just a knock off of Kitagawa in a Chinese fashion, so might as well go Kit size jaws and nuts.

Sidenote: In my experience the MMK chucks are deadly accurate, I'd even put them above Kitagawa, but .. why the small difference in slot size and bolt spacing???
