Thinking about going to a 5" chuck for the higher capacity both in the jaws/holding as well as the through-chuck. I know it won't open the spindle, but the chuck is nice to be able to pass slightly over an inch through.
Anyway - with a 5" chuck, 4" stock, can I even turn that down? I don't know that the cross feed can move that far out of the way. Thoughts?
