The 'independent' four jaw chuck is a larger chuck than the three jaw, and thus can hold larger workpieces. It requires a dial indicator to centre a part in it, by moving pairs of jaws to hold the part.

			It can hold parts perfectly concentric, with some work adjusting it, thus allowing the removal of workpieces.
