Paul the chuck is not really the limiting factor. However the column of the device does limit the size of gear wheel that can be cut. The best solution would be to have the column offset towards the front of the lathe with a tall column. I will have a go at making some raising blocks to fix to the ends of the column increasing then height by 2 inches. Apart from that limitation it is a fantastic accessory to have. John

if you used a collet chuck in the lathe, rather than the big 3 jaw, would you be able to get closer to it when cross drilling etc?
