    Question Expanding chuck for ryobi thread

    I have just been given a small Ryobi 10030 wood lathe and would like to buy a small expanding chuck for it. I cannot work out the thread size and on some of the websites I look at I have no idea what to buy. I am a complete beginner and would like to turn some small bowls maybe. Any help would be appreciated.

    Take the faceplate (or if it has a screw on drive centre) to a bolt supplier. They will be able to measure the spindle thread and size for you. That's what I did when I had an old no name lathe.

    Most ryobi lathes were 3/4" x 10tpi.

    But if in doubt do as peter suggest and take the faceplate to a bolt store to confirm.
