Hello,
I am just starting out after a life long interest in metal machining and fabrication. I recently purchased an EMCO maximat Super 11 off CL for a pretty fair deal. It is in great shape, it just didn't come with alot of accssories. It is set up to turn between centers, but I want to get a 3 or 4 jaw chuck as well. Which one would you recommend to purchase first? It seems that the 4 jaw would offer everything a 3 jaw would, although it would take a little longer to set-up. I will be using this machine to learn basic skills, as well as make some parts for my auto mod/resto projects and little things around the house. Below is a pic as it sits now - it has the backsplash as well but I removed it to move and clean. Thanks for your help!
