Hello Mac,

When I changed lathes from the Record Power lathes with 3/4" x 16 tpi
spindles to a Nova 3000 several years ago, I purchased an adapter from
Craft Supplies USA to convert the 1-1/4" spindle to 3/4" x 16 tpi and
found it worked great. Eight or nine years later, I have one that goes
from 1-1/4" to 1" x 8 and one that goes from 1" x 8 to 1-1/4" so that
we can use chucks back and forth from the Nova DVR, the Oneway 1018,
and the Vicmarc VL-100 without having to change inserts in the chucks.
I have not noticed any run out on any of these adapters. Also, it is
sometimes nice to have the chuck moved a ways from the headstock.
