Thanks for the compliment. Yes, overhang is a bad thing especially on a small spindle. It's hard to find a shallow chuck. My original 5" Logan chuck is very shallow and has no doughnut on the back. I wish it was a little bigger but it doesn't chatter at all, very solid. I have two 6-inch chucks made by Shars that are very deep and they chatter bad. As mentioned before, I made a steel back plate for one of them and it made maybe an 80% improvement. The cast plate fit well but if you put pressure on the chuck the back plate pulled away from the spindle register. I put a 30 inch bar in the chuck and put maybe 20 to 30 lbs on the end.
