Some folks like the collet type chucks with the release lever set up. I use a pretty good 6-jaw and have a 4-jaw independent chuck if I need it plus a multitude of dog chucks and all sorts of old stuff for turning off center. I seldom use any of that stuff and seldom need the taper attachment but they are nice to have if needed.
