Hi friends,
I've a Woodfast m408 lathe, sold by Craft Supplies in 2003, 2004.
The thread on the head stock spindle is 1 1/4" x 8 on either side.
The lathe motor runs in forward and in reverse and here's my problem:
I'd like to do an outboard turning with a large diameter.
I've a OneWay stronghold chuck with left hand thread that fits in the outboard. However, when I run the lathe in reverse, and start working on the outboard side, as soon as I contact the wood (for example, from left towards the center---right) the chuck start to loosen up.
Please help me out. I need to know if there is a solution for this.
Thanks,
Jake
