Re: 3-jaw largest bore?
By the way, I calculated that boring the spindle to 13/16" reduces the MT3 contact from 3" to 2.5", if that should matter to anyone.? Though I don't suspect many people use the spindle taper for

Re: 3-jaw largest bore?
True.? People have pushed the 7x lathe quite far.? Consider that the Grizzly and PM 10x22/30 lathes have only a 1" spindle bore.? And I definitely want one of those as well. Mike

Re: 3-jaw largest bore?
The bending force is only applied to the distance between the chuck & adjacent bearing - the spindle between the bearings is not subjected to it. Opening the spindle & chuck bore to 13/16" works fine,

I bored my 3" chuck out to 3/4". I no longer use the chuck very often, as I do most of my work with collets now.? Looks like 13/16" would work, but it looks like you would cut into the heads of the 3
