I'm guessing that's a 3/8" chuck. You want a minimum of 1/2" for a lathe. Deming
drills are usually 1/2" shank and being able to drill a large hole is what the
lathe is for.

While thinking about buying a drill chuck w/ adapter for my tailstock, it
occurred to me that I have an almost brand-new cordless drill, sans battery,
available to me for free. The chuck seems fairly robust, but is a threaded
chuck. Does anyone make an adapter to fit those to MT2?
