    Default Spindle adapters wanted

    Hello folks,

    I have an old Tanner FS100 lathe that is a solid as a rock. It is fitted with an outboard spindle but I do not have the accessories to do outboard turning.

    The spindle is 1-3/6" x 6 TPI LH and the inboard spindle is 1-1/2" x 6 R - cannot fathom why both spindles are not the same size.


    Anyway, I need either:
    1. a chuck that will fit the 1-3/8" 6 tpi, or
    2. an adapter to allow me to use my standard chuck.
    Any ideas??

    Ken M

    Give Vermec a call, they do pretty good work. I have a couple of their spindle adaptors, & one custom made to suit a specific application.

    Maybe they were different sizes to suit bearing design & replacement?

    Vicmarc make an chuck insert for your size, so your favourite turning retailer , say Pops Shed, Carbatec or Carrolls, can get it in for you.
