Are there any users on here that run a 125mm chuck on their myford ml10? What kind of drawbacks have you encountered?

I was running a 100 mm chuck on my unit, but only had one set of jaws (internal ones), so I was always limited on how large of an item I could hold. What’s the largest size you can hold comfortably, with a 100 mm chuck, with outer chuck jaws? How about for a 125 mm chuck ?

The ML 10 is not a gap bed lathe and I would think that if a 125 mm diia. chuck was used then you would have impact on the bed when using the outside jaws for large dia. jobs.

I find my 100mm chuck more than adeqaute for what i do..

The bigger the chuck, the longer the body, so you would loose some bed length. Check out the three jaw offerings on the ARC site, they helpfully show the sizes and their holding capacity.

I have just measured the gap between the 100mm chuck and the lathe bed, 30mm. The difference between 100mm and 125mm chucks means that you endup with about 17mm clear for the bigger one.

When there is not much gap between the chuck body and the bed, the advantage of the larger chuck diminishes. Also the cross slide is likely to foul the chuck body.
