Number 2 mt with 3/4 X 10 tpi male end?

[Barry Larson]

Forgive me if I'm asking about something that's really obvious, that I just can't seem to find. I'm looking for a number 2 MT insert with a 3/4 X 10 tpi male end so I can use some of my homemade live centre jam chucks on the headstock. I know I can get aluminum ones from Rubber Chucky, but somehow aluminum for a MT just doesn't seem right to me. I could have one machined, but thought I'd see if there was a ready made source I haven't found. Thanks in advance.

I use the Rubber chucky ones in the headstock but I don’t hang anything heavy with them.

I use a lot of wooden Morse tapers. Should be easy to put a bolt in one on center.
But wood might be less comforting than aluminum.
I attached a hand out on turning a wooden one

Robust has what I think you are looking for

You can also put a lock pin in your [powermatic or one-way type] live center, and use it as a drive center (Tape it to hold it in.)

Thanks Al and Rick. I hadn't noticed the Robust adapter. I'll look in to that one, as it also doubles as a safety drive centre.
Cheers.

The Robust drive center works great for this. I use it to turn wood and Delrin attachments for my live center. Best Wood Tools also has an MT2->3/4-10 arbor, but IMO it's less versatile than the Robust at the same price point.

Reach out to Victor at Best Wood Tools. He makes great adapters like this (https://bestwoodtools.store.turbify.net/onepihetachr.html). The ones he makes accept draw bars and make them safer for use in the headstock.
His are not ¾”-10, but he is a great machinist and will make an excellent one for you.

Thanks Rich. I've contacted Victor as he has the item I'm looking for as well as another product I'm interested in. Since I'm ordering from Canada it's good if I can double up on items and average the shipping costs to some degree. Victor also offers USPS for shipping which is better to Canada than the guys in the brown trucks!
Cheers.

You won’t be sad with that choice. Everything I have gotten from him is really top notch. Some are standard parts; others custom-made. But all work superbly.

Thanks Rich. I've already placed an order with Vic. Seems like nice folks to do business with. I'm looking forward to getting the items I ordered. He has a 2 MT 3/4X10 TPI adaptor that can be ordered with small face plates that should be ideal for some small items I'd like to try to make.
Cheers.
