Hello. (Sorry my english if I make mistakes)
I bought a rotary table. 110mm diameter, and I have my minilathe 3 jaw chuck 100mm.
The problem is that there is no way I can fix the chuck to the rotary table directly. I can make and adaptor, but I would loos space and is more weight. I have thought about drilling the threaded holes all way trought, counterbore the other side to alocate the head of the new internal hex screws and that is all.
This is the lathe spindle
After that, I could use the same chuck in the lathe, using the same nuts that I have using until now, but now I´ll need a hex key too. And also in rotary table using T nuts.
As you can see, there, he is happy because is versatile.
In my head the idea looks great, but I prefer to ask you, the experts before ruin my beloved chuck.
Thank you
