Generally the distance from the center of the chuck to the bed won't allow it...
Hence why you need a big fuckin chuck.
If the lathe can only handle, say, a 12'' chuck. The lathe will be built to a chuck that size (including the arms stick out). They won't build it so it can later accept a 20'' chuck...
