Ok, let's not call what I described a jam chuck -- let's call it
something which works well for me and for everybody who has copied this
design (such as it is) and is CHEAP.

My feeling is that the system I use works in all cases where cole jaws
will work also. But, cole jaws will not work in all cases where my
system works -- natural edge bowls, for instance. So, storage space and
money being limited quantities, why should I have both?

I use the Oneway version of the cole jaws, (jumbo), and they have slots in
addition to the holes...
That solves the problem of oval warped bowls, but still doesn't address the
warped rim...
If it doesn't sit flat on a table when you put it rim down, you won't be happy
with the jumbo/cole jaws, either...
