1/2" spindle converter to 1" 8 tpi for lathe chuck
Posted: Fri Sep 24, 2021 1:58 am
I'm new to Shopsmith and recently acquired a gently used Mark V 510.
QUESTION: In order to mount a 1" lathe chuck... I assume I need first a means to step up my spindle from 1/2" to 1" 8tpi? Do you guys have any recommendations for doing so? And/or any recommendations for the best lathe chucks for a Shopsmith? I see the chucks at Shopsmith.com...but they appear to be for 5/8" spindles(???) and the narrative descriptions are generally unclear.
These seem to me to be basic questions, but my searches have failed to find answers. *Leading me to believe I missing something very basic here???? Thanks (from Hawai`i).
