Hello all
I have purchased a lathe second hand about a month ago with the intention of turning pens and other small projects. nothing serious and I wanted to do it with only a small outlay
having only limited knowledge of lathes and woodturning when I made the purchase I foolishly got a lathe with a solid shaft (no MT) :doh: the lathe is some obscure brand made in Aus and not out of business.
question is. is it possible to replace the current shaft with one that has a MT? or can i get some sort of adaptor? apart from the lack of the MT it’s a great lathe (at least for what I have been doing wit it so far)
cheers
