I agree-chucks are expensive!!! That's why I think using shims is a terrible idea. I have 12 ends to round and that would require a lot of set-up time. For what I paid for this I want to use it as it was intended. It is a 6" dia chuck and I actually need a 5' dia. so I think I will send it back and buy a 5" that will close to .125" if I can find it and so far I have not.
