Sadly my 200mm chuck is an integral one, so I think the overhang may be a bit much with another inch of backplate, hence the idea of boring out. Perhaps a bit more measuring & thought is called for ... I wonder if thinning a D1-3 200mm backplate & turning a D1-4 taper locating nose on it may work? Would thus leave the original chuck un-hacked, apart from threaded holes. Incidentally, I don't reckon the M250 is as nice a lathe to use as my aged Kerry AG3, I just wish it was in better nick & I would have invested in some metric changewheels for it |

As I was using my 160mm Ø 4 jaw today, I suspect that a 200mm one would be almost unusable with the jaws poking out of the sides. Perhaps you are much braver than me. I bought the M250 in 1988, so it feels quite familiar. The only other lathe I've ever used was a 140 Harrison at evening classes. |
