No update yet. I am still waiting for them to schedule my install visit. I was going to ask about the chuck then.
Meanwhile I was doing some web research on the Samchully brand last night and I ran across a web site that claims that Samchully is the new OEM supplier for all Haas lathes. Maybe Haas booted BTC? I read that link on BTC chucks that you referred me to and it sounds like quality control wasn't the best at BTC. We have a BTC chuck on the TL-3W that I bought in December last year and it is fine.

Samchully HS/HAS Series
3 Jaw chucks are now OEM equipment on HAAS Lathes - they are 100% inter- changeable with Kitagawa B200 Series Chucks.
-------------------------------------------------
The one that came with my new lathe isn't a model HS/HAS like advertised above. It is model FTC-190. But it is a Samchully. Also I misspoke before, mine is a plain back with adapter plate not a set-thru.
Thanks again for the help. I appreciate it! I'll go look at Enco.
