It is a Shars "Set-Tru" style.  I like it better than the Bison 4 jaw. 
It does have some run-out depending on the size of the stock.  Its only 
near zero at whatever stock size you dialed it in at.  I think I last 
zeroed at with a 3/4 gage pin.  Gets me within "about 3-4 tenths 
(0.0003-0.0004) when its running the size stock its zeroed to.  The 
spindle nose only seems to be ground to about .0003 so that's not 
horrible.

It wasn't crazy expensive, but it wasn't cheap import cheap either.  I 
think it was around $800-900 (+/-) with the D1-5 back plate.

I'd probably change chucks more often if they weren't so heavy and 
awkward.  I have an electric chair lift I have been thinking about 
converting into a bench crane for that.  I don't think I have a 12V 
power supply on the shelf big enough for it though.
