1 forum posts	What size independent chuck would anyone suggest for a Myford ML10. I know a 150mm is often used on the 7 series what is this too large for the 10 series. I email Myford and they came back as below. email to Myford - Please advise what size 4 jaw independent chuck you recommend for the ML10 and if I purchase new what is the cost. Thank you reply from Myford --- Many thanks for your email.>> >> At present we do not have any sotck of independent chucks, and as we break up for holiday today at 12.30pm I cannopt get time to progress further.>> I will be back in the office w/c 6.9.10 and hope to look into the matter further on my return.>> Sorry I cannot help at this precise time As you can see , no answer to my question re size or cost which sould be always available to them. If an item is out of stock then fair enough. I just do not think much of the reply. Maybe they just want us to buy from China. Further note the spelling!

The 7 series 4 -jaw is 6 " and is not suitable for the ML 10. I did pick up a 100mm ( 4") Pratt Burnerd 4 jaw independant ,secondhand, a while ago and this is very good for the more delicate parts. I'm surprised at your reply from Myford - you must have caught them at a bad time. I've always found them very helpful and patient - even with some of my fool questions! Good luck! Norman

For that reason I would buy a 5 inch one for this machine. I like the ones that have the body threaded and do not use a backplate ,since they have less overhang. Douglas
