Mac,
You may want to consider getting separate chucks for the bigger lathe.
The spindle adapters do extend out a bit, and you do get more
vibration, especially if you are turning bigger things. I had one for
a bit, and would use one for a demo, but not for regular turning in my
shop. For getting more distance from the headstock, I use extended
jaws on my chuck (vicmarc). You can change the insert for the chucks,
but it is a PITA.

Agree on the PITA changing adapters..

I'm ordering a 1 1/4 adapter for the talon, just in case, but I'd like to use
either one on whichever lathe, because I have standard jaws on one and spigot
jaws on the other and I'm too lazy to keep changing them..
