Well good news and a question ...
Have just managed to sell my current lathe (Nova TL1500) and once it is picked up I will be placing the order for a vicmarc VL150 (unless I can win the lotto and then it will be a VL240).
So far I have been planning to go with an M30 x 3.5 spindle thread and getting dedicated vicmarc chucks to match.
Starting with a clean slate i.e. don't have any existing attachments that I need to match the thread to.
Is there any reason I should consider M33 or 11/4x 8?
cheers
Robin
P.S. once the lathe is in my hands I will be posting pics and some notes on how I finally got through analysis paralysis to make a decision :U
