And if you can pick it up, it's not *that* heavy, you can save again.

I did the same for my club, but bought the WL-20 (1100 bed), then had to arrange others to help me unload as its double the weight. almost. its a 92kg box!!

Cant say I have had any experience with the Sherwood sorry.

I'm struggling to find much detail on the Sherwood apart from the Timbecon site. Can't even work out who makes them!!!
The Hafco though has all the info you need.

I got the WL-14 Just played with it for the first time, seems very nice so far! The headstock has a different size thread then all my chucks! Does anyone know which adaptor I need for it!!!?

The WL-14 has a 30x3.5 thread. What size are your chucks? Do they have adaptors already?

Chuck body which is pre-threaded 1in. x 8in. tpi thats my barracuda which is the same as my other chucks. i dont have any adaptors that fit the WL 14.

I would just hit the Hafco website. They have a fair variety of adaptors in their lathe accessories range.

Good luck!

Or...

I may have spoken a bit hastily. I've just had a look myself and of course, Hafco only stock the adaptors to fit their chucks at 40x2.0 threads. You will have to look a bit further afield. I'm sure what is needed will exist.

ok I know I'm being a pain but................would this be what I need?

NOVA CHUCK INSERT/ADAPTOR M30x3.5 (mm) RH THREAD (SKU IQNS) - NOVA

hang on no thats wrong! hard searching when they don't give both thread sizes.

This one!!!!! Nova Insert suit Nova Chucks 30mm x 3.5mm Pitch | Chuck Inserts - Carbatec

its 30 x 3.5 and fits nova chucks which are 1" x 8 TPI

though it does says its a unique thread!

Brainstrust, I think you might be best served by making a few phone calls. The details never seen to be clear as to what they fit.

I may be wrong but from what I’ve can work out, you’ll need a 30x3.5 female and. 1”x8tpi male.
