hey everyone,
I am having a hard time finding a adapter to mt3 for my lathe tailstock center hole. The machine that was given to me came with a dull dead center and I would like to get a Chuck and live center for the tailstock. My mill has tons of mt3 tooling so in a perfect world I would be able to adapt the tailstock hole to mt3. Or just find a supplier that had centers with a matching shank. It is 1" straight and has a keyway slot running the shaft of the dead center I have and threads that meet with the back of the tailstock and can be moved forward and backward with the handle. Here are the pics. You have all been super helpful before and know this will be a simple question for some of you.
Thanks
Dylan
