Why don't you ask Cameron? Personally, I would buy a larger drill
press, instead of modifying my $1000 precision drill press.

Thanks. I don't want to modify the drill press only change the chucks if it is possible. I need 1/8" capacity instead of 1/16" I'm looking to find a used chuck that would work at reasonable price. I will ask Cameron but not sure if I'll be able to afford to pay what they want for a new chuck.
