Indeed sir! ive been hoping ive missed somthing simple but doesnt look like it unforunatly!

 

It is indeed wierd, the thread on the insert i ordered is visibly larger, ive misplaced my verniers so cant give exact numbers but id say its 2mm bigger.

 

doing my head in i want to go play as ive an order for a bowl for a wedding present that i cant do!

Im assuming that is the inside thread on the adaptor ie the spindle thread?

whilst bored in the rain i figured i should finish one of my first attempts on the lathe!!

 

whilst your all talking about chucks...im looking at buying a bigger chuck but my lathe doesnt have a threaded end for a chuck to fit, it uses a grub screw to lock the 'micro' chuck/other fittings in place, i could get a threaded adaptor for this but unsure if it will be man enough!! have any of you come across such a thing?? the lathe has room for an 18" swing workpiece but not sure i want to be using it with the grub screw locking device!! as ever any thoughts gratefully received!!!!!!

Which lathe do you have? -some pics of what you're describing would help...

 

(I personally do not like threaded spindle noses, as it means you can only turn in one direction safely)

 

Nice gobblet BTW, yew?

thanks, yes its yew! i want to try some bigger stuff but limited with tooling atm!!!!

 

the lathe i bought is a multico 'fusso'... its a '5-in-1 all purpose wood working center' according to the owners manual!!!! lol!!

 

i will add some pics tom nite, the output shaft from the gearbox is basically a 16 mm {5/8th} shaft with a small flat area machined in to it for a grub screw to tighten against, easier to explain with pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!
