Coolidge, thank you for that. I do not see anyway around it... I can't fit anything more in what I have... I will replace this one
with the one you posted... thank you!
On other news... the keyless chuck arrived. What a difference! Now we are talking. This thing turns true... I will later measure runout, but in the one that came with the machine I could see it all over the place... not this one!
It is not made in the USA....but for my first chuck, it will do... got it from Amazon

Looks like a decent deal on that drill chuck.
I got the same hole gauge set as the one you got from Enco. I found it a bit sticky to use. I ended up disassembling, cleaning, and de-burring them. It is a bit fussy and the ends are spring loaded. I did it in the cover of a cardboard shoe box to avoid losing pieces. I also hand twisted an appropriate size drill through the handle and the "T" end and lightly oiled all the internal parts.
They work much better now.

Non of the local Costco had them in stock. I was told that they sold those quickly. Still available online with an additional 100.00 shipping charge. Even looking around for comparable units, seems like a great deal. Let me consult with the CFO...
Seems to work fine. I will get a smaller one, as suggested in the other thread, since this one takes a lot of space. But again, for what I am doing so far (learning), it should work well.
Thank you on the suggestion on the gauges. I will clean them as well. Already had the pleasure of learning why you are not supposed to unscrew them completely
