Two part question on 4 and 6 jaw chucks for a 10EE.
1 - Whats the biggest practical size that should be run. I have heard 11 inch, but im thinking 8 inch is more practical with jaws extending out the edges and such. What do you guys think? Im kinda looking for the biggest that I can run because this is something I only want to buy once.
2 - Buck seems to be the only chucks I can find. The only problem I see with them is they are very heavy and I would be nervous running them at 4000 RPM on the tiny spindle mount of the 10EE. Anyone have any experience with that?
I know Monarch uses the Cushman chucks, which are very light, but its so hard to find one that hasn't been thru the war, I was hoping I could get some advice here.
Thanks guys and gals
