Hi Guys
Just thought you might want to see a few pics of the chuck adapter plates Ive machined up for my Sidney lathe. This lathe has whats known as the L-1 spindle. Getting these things is not easy, and expensive at best. I have allso drilled a second
pattern in the smaller adapters, so I can bolt them down on my 12 rotary table as well.
This method could be used on most any lathe. For the guys with a threaded back plate, this way could make it much easyer to get that new chuck bolted up , and makin chips. In the pics the hub you see is the L-1 hub that mates to the spindle, and the plate bolts to that. The hub shown is 8 inch, and my Bison chuck is a direct bolt up to it.
These pics are of the adapter plate for the 12 inch TOS chuck
More to come
