Does anyone know if there are any chucks that will fit the g8690
lathe? It has a MT #1 spur center.


Thanks

Terry,

I checked the manual for the G8690 and it has a 3/4"-10 threads per inch
- right hand threaded spindle nose. That thread size seems to be an odd
size. Grizzly has two chucks that takes an insert for that thread size.
They both are 6 inch diameter chucks (swing on the g8690 is 6 and 5/8")
- one is a three jaw self centering and one is a four jaw independent
centering chuck. Grizzly also has a two inch chuck that fits the mt#1 taper.

Hope this helps,

Jack

Hi Terry,

Oneway does make a 3/4X10 adapter for the Talon Chuck. You have to order
it directly from Oneway. The retailers do not carry that size in stock. I
picked up mine from them the ship promptly and at basically the same price
as the retailers sell it for. I hope this helps you.

Hi Terry

FWIW, I would get the Oneway chuck, they come with a separate tapered
insert, any kind of size you want, and when you have outgrown this
lathe, (I expect you to do that very soon) ;-))) you than can change
just the insert and use your chuck on your new lathe.
Just go and have a look at the link below, there's all the info you
need.

Btw, lathes can be dangerous, holding that piece of wood is more
important than having more power etc. and a good quality chuck will
last you a lifetime, also it would be very easy to sell the chuck and
get a good price for it, if you decide you don't like turning anymore.

Have fun and take care

Same with the Vicmarc chuck.
