I have my high-speed spindle, a drill quill made to run 10k rpm.
However, it has a M-1 male taper that holds a 1/4" Jacobs chuck. I need
to mount a 6" x 1/16" x 7/8" AH cut-off disk. Is there a commercial
adapter or do I have to make something?

I read that as a male Morse #1 taper protruding from the end, fitting a
female taper hole in a Jacobs chuck. Usually the male stub arbor would
have a Jacobs taper. The large ends of likely candidates are 0.384" for
Jacobs #1, 0.475" for Morse #1, and 0.559" or .549" for Jacobs #2.

The inner bodies of Jacobs chucks are soft and easily machined, even the
high quality ball-bearing Supreme ones. I just checked with a file. If
your arbor is soft enough to drill and tap the end for a retaining screw
you could modify a chuck body into the disk holder.

That's a great suggestion, thanks! I'll post the final solution when it's
running.
