    Rotary chuck - 3Jaw to 4Jaw

    I need to work on both round and square stock, the 3-jaw is very difficult to center square stock, so I'd like to go to 4-jaw.
    Anyone know where to find one compatible with my rotary? not sure if this is special or if a lathe chuck will work?
    Could also use some advice on replacing, I've never taken one apart
    Chuck face is 4" diameter
    I typically mill 1.5" square stock and 1" round stock

    The translation gear is a:

    Re: Rotary chuck - 3Jaw to 4Jaw

    I saw something that leads me to believe this is possibly a K11 chuck and that I need a K12 chuck?
    The biggest difference I notice is the thickness, the jaws go right to the edge of the backside... but all the others I see for sale are way way thicker.
    Man why is it so hard to identify this and find a replacement

    This is the only marking on the chuck
