Considering buying one of those 8X16 lathes because of the 1.5" head stock capabilities to meet my needs. (Have a 11X48 Rockwell). Appears the mini lathe is only available on eBay approx $850 delivered.
My question relates to purchasing a 5-6" "independent 4 jaw chuck" with large opening that will fit the mini lathe. Read where some have had to open the bore diameter of the 4 jaw chuck to take advantage of the large 1.5" head thru capabilities. I have no idea what chuck (specifications, mounting) I need to look for.
