As we noted earlier, Jacobs closed its last US plant. This seems to have generated closeout deals on some Jacobs products. Amazon has the Jacobs 6208 1B Medium Duty Chuck for $15.60 w/ SS shipping, which is about half of what they used to cost (list prices never meant much, but it’s a discount from the normal discount). It’s worth your while surfing the Jacobs listings [What’s This?] on Amazon, as there are some fantastic deals on milling toolholders and other chucks as well. Just make sure you cross check prices — some stuff is still at retail.

The price is not 15.60 anymore – maybe it never was? Shows as 69.13 with a list price of 109.98
The Jacobs 7BA is listed at $19.51, a better chuck IMHO
Not many will be interested in 1/4″ chucks.
