My question is what are you using for leverage on the chuck it self? Sometimes the chuck wrench is not enough. A tool I have seen looks like it would be per...

I have not owned a Lagun, nor do I remember where they are from. I think europe. I have been told many times that they are very nice machines. Some models are Bridgeport clones, but better. I may have opened a can of worms, but I am just repeating what I have been told.

SteveS---- Well I guess you just made up my mind. Are you sure about this. I don't deserve a deal like this. PM me and we can get everything squared away.
