Just a thought Darrell, you might put on there somewhere whether you
drilled and tapped the back of the chuck, or if the glue block was
sized to put into your scroll chuck.

I made a really mean one out of white oak that I put on an old iron
faceplate and it works great.

As always, thanks for taking the time to share with us.

Thanks. Actually the reference is to one of the glue blocks I make that is
threaded for the lathe. People can use one of those or dedicate a faceplate.
I will make the addition in the page writing to clarify.

Thanks Bob. By the way, I just added a page to the projects section on
making a Lazy Susan server.

That's a great idea ! Thanks Darrell. I have also been looking at your
hollowing tool and hope to take a stab at making one myself.
One question.... I'm not too familiar with tapping.... could someone
steer me towards what size tap I would need for a 1 x 8 headstock
(Rockwell),
Thanks,
Lenny

Lenny:

If I recall correctly, it is 7/8". I have a set I bought on EBAY and I
have only used them for MDF and white oak. 7/8" pilot worked fine.

Robert

heh heh heh.... screw Chuck page....

Larry
You answered the question yourself. For a 1" x 8 headstock you need a 1" x 8
tap. I think I got mine form Enco. Carbon steel is fine for wood tapping but
HSS will last a long, long time.

Whoops... need to read a little closer. Listen to Darrell, not Robert.

If you need a tap for a 1X8 thread, you use a 1X8 tap. I took this for
granted and was thinking he was asking about the pilot hole sized for
the tap.

Oh ...DUH !!!
I told ya I didn't have much experience with tapping. lol
All I've ever done is tap my throat plates on the tablesaw to accept
allen screws for leveling.
Thanks again !
