Lathe spindle work stop

Thank's very much.

The chuck is a MT3 arbor. So i need to create some sort of spacer to maybe fit in the spindle with it. My plan is to then make a big washer and tighten it onto the back of the spindle opening by the gear train.

This may interest you as an option. I bought this straight to mt3 adaptor and it works well by holding it in my lathe chuck for small work. Just used the drill bit to show the run out. I am still going to make a drawbar set up, but have had success with the adaptor. Maybe this would help you out. Thank's

I dont have the space for that and defeats the purpose i would use this for.

I'd offer a option that works for chucks and collets. Using a rather long, light compression spring that allows part to contact stop, it will eject parts simply. It also benefits loading, because you can feel the contact and actually stop in chosen position. Many kinds of material don't slide easily over jaws and in spindle bores, so the tactile signal is quite positive.

Thank's, I am going to try that. Makes perfect sense.
