Makes sense lol The SS chuck and center spur/live center tailstock are on there way!


Sweet!

Beeg,

I guess I will hold off on it. I shouldn't need the adapter after I get the SS chuck and centers. Even the pen mandrel from pen state will work on the shopsmith headstock.

Terry thank you for spelling it out. YOu filled the missing links for me. I will just eat it and get all SS stuff.

I will only be using the chuck for crude aluminum drilling and such so don't want anything too much. Another big reason I decided on that one is it looks like it comes with the adapter!

I am so ready to get started!!!!!

Ugh almost a hundred buckaroos!

Just wanted to post some pics to be on the safe side.

So I guess I am missing something so glad for the backup! The centers I see are all tapered with a shaft and then the "head" if you will that goes into the wood. So how do these to shafts mate?

My buddy said the tailstock has a #1 Morse taper.... hes a "fun" guy. Anyways how can I be sure?

Bill what about on the chuck side? What kills me is I don't know the terminology! I sure can fix any part of a car but this is like a new art thats hidden!

Well that clears the chuck up! Thanks guys.

What about the centers? One goes into the chuck the other a #1 in the tailstock?
