Do you use an Extended Range chuck such as ER32 with (MT#2/#3 ) in your tailstock? is it in any way a better chuck for tailstock than the conventional drill chuck like Albrecht?
I am thinking of using one in my mini lathe but there isn't much info that I could find about how it would perform, I don't see how it would not be just as good as a drill chuck , i would imagine it would be more time consuming to change bits (compared to a keyless chuck) but other than that is there anything about them that makes an ER chuck an unsuitable tool holding chuck for tailstock?
