the procedural checker doesn't tend to display as well as a file texture would.

You need to, if your video card is compatable, go to Shading>High Quality Rendering.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

I would suggest creating a checker pattern in photoshop (or equivalent) and using that instead.

Look at the attribute editor under the shaders tab and change the "hardware texturing" options to the highest setting. That should keep it from looking so soft around the checkers edges.

I wouldn't worry about trying to get it all hooked up into one UV shell. Especially for mechanical objects like this. You can break UV shells where you'd find a natural seam.
