Hi all,
I started converting my ORAC lathe a while ago. Got busy on other project but I am back to it now! :-)
One thing I did not like on the ORAC was the spindle nose. It seems very difficult to find chuck back plate for it and the only one available seems to be for 3 jaws chuck only.
Original spindle:
Solution: Re-machine the nose!
Denford ORAC with a Boxford threaded nose!
Now, I can fit my ER32 collet chuck, 4 jaw independent or 3 jaws SC. Can even share them with my manual lathe...
