Hi All,
i'm a newbie at turning and got myself a cheap Bell and Carroll lathe to practice on. This is all well and good, but i now want to practice with a chuck which was not supplied with the lathe. I've found a couple of chucks for sales but they have different thread mounts. I don't have any paper work for my lathe and searching the net doesn't come up with anything. My question is: How do i find out what thread mount my lathe is so i can buy a chuck?
Thanks for looking, and thanks in advance for any help you could give.
Regards,
Paul.
