adaptor

[Fireman sam]

I have a mini jet lathe with a 1x10 thread and vl300 lathe with a 30.5 thread is there any way to make an adaptor so that i can use the chucks with 30.5 thread on the jet lathe with out having to change the insert:?
thanks Andrew:?

[Skew ChiDAMN!!]

Just loctite the inserts to the appropriate headstock threads and don't bother with the grub screws in the chuck? :innocent:


(Dunno about Vicmarcs but I know this works with Teknatool's chucks. :D)

Hi Sam,

I have one of the bigger Jet lathes (1442) and it has a 1" x 8tpi spindle thread and came with an adapter to make it a 33 x 3.5, so I know that they are made. Try at your local Jet dealer, they might be able to point you in the right direction.

Hope this helps,

Richard

I bought an adaptor for my Jet mini lathe to fit the Nova thingo, try Gary Pye.

Andrew they can be made to any size, in your case 1"x10 female to 30x3.5mm male, cost is $50.00
