Hi Leonard,

My Chuck grabs onto about 1/2 inch and hold pretty well most of the time. On the lathe I have good things about Grizzly and they are not to expensive.

Thanks,

Carl

I finally turned my first mushroom and it came out prett good. I'm just waiting on the paste wax to get here. The chuck i bought is a Barr Acuda by PSI. The problem i have with it is that it only grips 3/16" of the wood you put into it. Well the wood likes to fly with the chuck only gripping 3/16" even with the tail stock live center at the other end. It looks like this lathe i bought needs a total rebuild. I think i should just buy a newer one. Any recommendations on a newer Lathe?

Leonard
