Hi Terry

FWIW, I would get the Oneway chuck, they come with a separate tapered
insert, any kind of size you want, and when you have outgrown this
lathe, (I expect you to do that very soon) ;-))) you than can change
just the insert and use your chuck on your new lathe.
Just go and have a look at the link below, there's all the info you
need.

Btw, lathes can be dangerous, holding that piece of wood is more
important than having more power etc. and a good quality chuck will
last you a lifetime, also it would be very easy to sell the chuck and
get a good price for it, if you decide you don't like turning anymore.

Have fun and take care

Does anyone know if there are any chucks that will fit the g8690
lathe? It has a MT #1 spur center.
