I need a drill chuck for a Rockwell - Beaver 11" wood lathe model 3401A
(later Delta).

Anyone know where I might get parts for it???

Pretty much any drill chuck with the right taper -- probably MT2 in this case,
but that's just a guess -- ought to work.

Try asking over at rec.crafts.woodturning, too.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.

Nope..I wish it was morse taper, but not on this one. A buddy loaned me an
MT2 yesterday and it's not even close, The spur on the headstock screws
onto a thread and is about 2" long...No luck at that end either. Will try
the site you suggested.

Thanks..Keith P.

If it's a standard taper, there's all sorts of sources. If it's a Morse taper, try any
woodturning supplier (woodcraft, lee Valley, Craft Supplies). If it's a different
taper, I'd try a machinist supply (McMaster-Carr, MSC).

To figure out what it is, I'd go to http://www.owwm.com (the Old Woodworking Machines
group website), and dig around.

It has no taper....Straight with a machined slot on one side. I tried
tapping the live center out but have a feeling it's either really stuck or
an integral part of the whole piece. I don't really know. I'll just have to
keep looking.

Just before I sent this I went to a site that had an exploded view of the
parts and it described part #30 as a dead center with a #1 morse taper
included......Sooo it must be stuck tight...Hmmmm. Wish I knew someone who
had this machine.

The live centre that was on the lathe turned out to be a #1 Morse taper
(after using penetrating lube and a few hard taps it released!)

Great! #1 Morse taper accessories are easy to get.

A MT#2 is NOT going to fit in a MT#1
