I would like some advice from all you learned folks. I want to replace the chuck on my lathe.
History. It is a Magnum-Cut 16-60, made by Frejoth in PRC. I purchased it used from a plumbing shop and never actually got to talk to the original purchaser. It has a 10" 3 jaw, D-1 6 with a back plate and a 14"(300mm) 4 jaw, direct mount D1-6. The 3 jaw is showing .020" TIR, that is a little too much for me. The 4 jaw has a pin that doesn't lock well, has unlocked on me twice.
I am looking at the mid-grade Bison 3 jaw Direct mount D1-6 to replace the current 3 jaw. There is $600.00 difference between the 10" and the 8".
Question: Is there any reason I shouldn't go for the 8" vice the 10".
Thanks
Eric
