Are 125mm Diameter Chucks Too Large For The Myford ML7? @SteveJordan

Uploaded June 2021 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

In this video I prove that the larger diameter full length chucks are not so good as the 100mm chucks on my Myford ML7. I have found that I get a lot of chatter or vibration when using the larger chucks most probably caused by radial free-play overhang, combines with movement on the spindle thread. I show some tests plus a bit of turning to show what is happening.
