lathe

Hey folks, I need some advice… I am looking to upgrade to a bigger lathe and was wondering what you might know about the Jest 1442EV or the Jet 1642EV… Have you use either? I know the specifications on each but if you have one or the other what do you consider some of it’s strengths or...

I bought a drill chuck from AS and am using it for the first time in my Turncrafter Pro lathe. I noticed it seems to be too long. I have seen people shorten them in other posts. What is the easiest way to do this and about how much do people take off? Thanks
