Here is my heavy 10 SB.
It came with a cushman 7 1/2 inch 3 jaw chuck and an 8 inch Union 4 jaw chuck.
Both chucks are a bit large for my use so I bought a 6 inch Cushman 3 jaw and the collet closer set up.

I have a 12x12 inch piece of 1/8 steel plate I can bore holes into and make a collet holder.I was thinking of a wood box to store the collet draw bar.Steady rest and follow rest are future items I hope to get or make.Quick change tool post would be nice.
