Is it possible that the flush outboard spindle has a short section of
internal (female) threads? I once had a lathe that did. Guelph, IIRC?
I turned a nice maple handwheel and bolted it to the spindle's "other
end'. What lathe do you have?

The Maple handwheel sounds awesome. My lathe is an old (OK...Very
old!) Craftsman single tube. The headstock is bored all the way
through (no internal threads) and the "business end" is No.1 MT, 3/4-16
external thread.

While a handwheel (Or the option to mount a sanding disc "outboard")
would be nice, I've never had either. So I don't miss them, mostly.
