1-10 -> 2¼-8 adapter, anyone?
 

I have this gizmo I'm never ever ever going to use. I don't know
where I got it. It threads onto a 1-10 spindle nose and is threaded
for 2¼-8 threads. Nicely made and finished. Will fit onto the spindle
nose of some Atlas 6" lathes and some 4" dividing head spindles, if
you happen to have a 2¼-8 threaded lathe chuck you're trying to mate
with it. I'm looking for a good home for it. Offer me anything I can
use and pay for shipping and it's yours. I can use lots of things,
but tops on my list right now (in that price range) is a 1/2-20 die
either 1" or 7/8" in diameter, can't find mine if I ever had one. Or
a handful of miscellaneous brass/bronze plumbing bits (1/8"? 1/4"? 3/8"?)
or anything else you can dream up. Or $15. This would take a skilled
machinist at least two hours to make on a lathe and it would take me
all friggin day.

It might be useful for a wood working lathe that needs a chuck adapter.

My wood lathe is a 1-10 and I have a wood chuck that needed a larger
size - so the adapters could be made for many lathes...

Someone have a 2 1/4 x 8 lathe chuck and a 1x10 wood lathe spindle ?

Well ... I *do* have a 6" Atlas/Craftsman, and I *do* have a
couple of lathe chucks which have 2-1/4"x8 mounts (left over from when I
converted my 12x24" Clausing to L-00 spindle nose), but I don't think
that those chucks would clear the way on that little 6". :-)

I hope that you find a home for it.

Good Luck,
DoN.
