3/8" Capacity J33 Mount Chucks?

Maybe to prevent misuse. I have had some problems with people overloading various machine tools by installing very large drill bits in small machines, so I had to buy or find appropriate size drill chucks, matched to the size of the drill the machine can handle. Mostly things like 1/2" shank S&D drills in the benchtop CNC mill (designed for light work, and it circular interpolates anyways...) and so on. Not to mention that the CNC mill is bolted to the bench exactly 4 feet from the 21" Clausing drill press which will run an

That's what I figured... Except that it's my machine they are buying and it's got enough HP to do a 3/4" hole....

Asa side note... I guess this makes me wonder why bench top drill press machines (hobbyist size) have 1/3 or 1/4 HP motors and a chuck that will hold 1/2" diameter round shak tooling. I guess some folks are working in Balsa wood, styrofoam and hardened soap bubbles. :)

Why do they make 27hp lawn mowers with only 48 inch decks?

More power has got to be better right? ;-)

Leon... They double as stump grinders... Everyone knows that.

Particularly for the kind of stump that requires a prosthetic.

Clearly they're being paid off by the motor manufacturers to drum up more business by creating abnormal amounts of magic white smoke.
