This is so simple that no one seems to sell it!

I want to be able to screw my Talon chuck onto the tail stock... seems like a
simple thing to do, just have a taper with threads on the other end..

Oneway has several things that would work, but most require a Oneway tail stock
and/or live center and quite a few bucks...
I'm using 2 Jet lathes and am cheap.. *g*

Kevin at Oneway has been very helpful and has exchanged several emails, BTW...
great customer service!
IF $150 or so a lathe was affordable, it seems like the Oneway live center and
live center adapter would work well, but I like the live center that I use now
and don't need a new one..

(adapter is below live center on same page)

Where's Bill Noble when I need him... lol

Sounds interesting, but what would you do with something like this? If the
chuck turned at all the taper would ***k up the tailstock!

If you're thinking of making a carving stand, I used a 1"d x 4"l bolt, cut the
head off and put it in my banjo.

Mike, one use is for centering a reversed piece onto a vacuum chuck.
Remove the item with chuck from the head spindle, put it on the tail
spindle adapter and move it up to the vacuum chuck nicely centered.
This was discussed at length in the past.

I haven't done it and I don't know if they are expensive, but it would
seem cheap & easy for a homeshop machinist to cut the head off a 4" 1X8
bolt and machine a male MT2 on it. Another item, Bill Noble?

Packard Woodworks sells them. $24.95 Called a Tailstock Chuck Adaptor
and the 1 x 8 tpi fits a MT2. Item #112830D

When you do a good deed, get a
receipt, in case heaven is like the IRS.

Should have mentioned that it is to be used for positioning only, not
under power. If you have one made up for power use, a drawbar tapped
hole in the MT would be nice.

Tips fer Turnin': Place a sign, easily seen as you switch on your lathe, warning you to remove any and all rings from your fingers. Called degloving, extended hardware can grab your ring and rip it off your finger. A pic for the strong of stomach: www.itim.nsw.gov.au/go/objectid/2A3AC703-1321-1C29-70B067DC88E16BFC/index.cfm

Besides, rings can easily mar the surface of a turning as you check for finished smoothness.

www.bestwoodtools.com is the source for Packard and others, near as I can
tell. For holding in the banjo for embellishing, I use a 1" 8 common bolt,
beheaded and with a jam nut.

I guess I should have mentioned WHY, Mike.. lol

I want to do the finish turning on a bowl in the chuck, so that all but the
tenon/recess trimming is done, then unscrew the chuck with the bowl in it, screw
it onto the tail stock, put the vacuum chuck on the head stock and use the tail
stock to bring the bowl to the vacuum chuck... which on paper, should have it
pretty well centered..

The jaws of the chuck would be loosened as soon as the vacuum was up and the
chuck removed from the tail stock...
