Got a Jet mini-lathe for Christmas, and now have a quandry. I have two
Oneway chucks that fit my Nova 3000, and don't really want to buy
another chuck. What I'd like to get is an adapter that will fit over
the spindle on the mini lathe and which my chucks can then screw into.
Sorta like a helicoil.

Not sure where to get one.

TIA...

I sell both Jet and Nova lathes, as well as Oneway, and do not believe that
there is such an adaptor commercially available. If you look at http:/
www.oneway.on.ca/chucks/adaptors.htm, and go to the bottom of the page,
you'll see that Oneway offer to make special adaptors...perhaps this will
help.

what am I missing? Why can't he just buy the 1"x8 insert for the Oneway
chucks and replace the insert for the Nova with it?
Billh

You should be able to get an adapter.
Down here in Australia there is about 10 different shaft threads so
when you buy a chuck you specify the shaft thread on your lathe and
the chuck is supplied with an adapter to suit.

If look under chucks on this site http://www.vicmarc.com/ you will see
the adapter, although I guess getting one from Australia would be a
last resort but at least you'll know exactly what you're looking for.

Unless otherwise stated all references to location refer to Western Australia

Both Best Tools and Craft Supply (and probably others as well) sell
spindle adapters. You'd just screw it onto your Jet spindle and then
be able to screw your OneWay chucks on. Much faster and easier than
going into the chucks to change adapters.
They're about $50 to $60.

My impression from his original post is that he wanted to be able to
conveniently switch the chucks from one lathe to another. Changing the
adapters isn't really very convenient compared to having the same thread on
both lathes, hence my suggestion.

Walt

He could. Apparently, he doesn't want the hassle of changing the insert
each time he changes chucks. Craft Supplies and Packard sell spindle
adapters that would allow him to simply screw his chucks on the Mini with
changing the insert in the chuck.

Because I still have the Nova and don't want to swap the inserts. I
just want to screw the chuck on, turn, take it off and be able to screw
it on the Nova w/o any hassle. It would be quite handy to turn the 1x8
spindle on the mini (or whatever size it is, haven't looked yet) to a 1
1/4x8...

Well, sometimes it's true. But, I fully understand. Probably the cheapest
way is just to buy another insert for your other lathe and switch them back
and forth. The spindle adapter would likely be more convenient. you could
put a screw driver bit in your cordless drill and speed up the process of
switching inserts a bit.

1"x 8TPI is probably the most common lathe thread in use. Lots of gizmos you
