Hi everyone. My 150 came with a 6" 4 jaw concentric chuck and I would like to use a 8" 4 jaw independent that I own. Since the 8" chuck is considerably heavier, is there a risk that I might damage the lathe spindle? Can the lathe take a heavier chuck?
 
I had a look at the Schaublin 150 catalogue to get an idea of the chuck weights offered with the lathe when it was new. They offered a 8” independent 4 jaw chuck weighing 22lb. I own a 8” independent 4 jaw chuck but it weighs 35lbs. I’m wondering if my 35lb chuck is too heavy to use on my Schaublin 150?
 
Weight? What do you think happens when you chuck up a 6" ODx18" long chunk of steel in the lathe......

Don't think the weight is as important as impact as far as bearing life/damage....
