Hi Everyone!
I've got an old lathe that I would like to fit with a 4 jaw 6" sync chuck, but I'm not sure what I need. My concerns are: Is the headstock too long and will protrude out of the chuck? I've attached a picture of the headstock which I believe is 1" @ 8TPI. Will a chuck fit directly on this or do I need some sort of an adapter? Does anyone have any recommendations on a good chuck that will fit this?
Thanks in advance,
Gregg Adams
