I would like a bigger chuck. I have 10" swing and this is a 5" chuck.
My 5" jaws need less than an inch extension for their max size. Its not a good pic, callipers are away from bed, 122mm radius will clear the ways!
I think I can fit an 8" chuck, provided I am careful near full extension, which Im unlikely to use often. 6" wouldnt be much of an upgrade and I have not seen 7".
There is also a weight difference, 6" goes upto 8kg, 8" is 14kg. More wieght on the spindle is probably a good thing.
