Attaching a Supernova chuck to a South Bend Lathe?
Hi Brian To bad you didn't get a oneway stronghold, the Oneway Co. will machine a custom adapter for their chuck, but you could go the way I did, by using a morse taper with a drawbar, they are available with a soft straight shank that can be machined, I ordered a adapter for my chuck without thread (for a shopsmith) and made it to fit onto the morse taper shank (heat shrink it on and it will never budge) hope this is some help, let us know what you do and how it works.

I would like to find out how I can attach a Supernova chuck to my 9"
South Bend Lathe bearing in mind that the SBL has nose spindle thread of 1 " x 8 tpi. BRBR Brian, Teknatool must make a 1 X 8 insert for the SuperNova chuck. I have used one on a Jet Mini, which also has a 1X8. 1X8 is a very common spindle thread. Check the Craft Supplies USA catalog . They sell the SuperNova chuck and the inserts for your lathe. -Jim Gott- San Jose, CA |

Jim,
In all but your post, Brian's message shows his spindle size as 11/2" x 8, not a very common size. -- James Barley www.members.shaw.ca/jbarley ----return address not valid I can be contacted via my web link.

for what it's worth, I may be able to make an adapter - since I use 1.5X8
nuts to make faceplates for powermatic lathes, I can handle the spindle thread - I wonder what the thread on the chuck body is - I'm too lazy to go out and try and figure out what my super nova chuck has..... if the chuck body threads are large enough that it's possible to make an adapter, you can try dropping me a note - or you can visit my web page (www.home.labridge.com/~wnoble) - your choice. to reach me don't reply to this posting, email me using the address on my web site. bill "Leo Van Der Loo" wrote in message e.rogers.com...
