Well since I last posted I went and bought a 5" Chinese 3 jaw chuck just so I could get the lathe up and running. I'm still going to buy the threaded blank back plates. I decided to do this and buy some needed cutting tools for the mill and lathe. I had to machine a little off the back plate I have for the Chinese chuck to fit it. The chuck was advertised to fit the 95mm center but it was slightly smaller so had to take a little off and I did true up the back plate to my lathe but it probably didn't need it as I only made very light pass over the surface removing the darkened surface material.
