Thank guys...re slapping the tailstock chuck into the headstock ....I'll have a bash later but I figured the taper specs being different means that thisisn't doable? (headstock is MT3 & tailstock is MT2). Now I'm clueless about these things so you're probably laughing right now!
Ross...it's my intention to buy an independant 4 jaw....but nobody holds stock (due September) - actually, it may well be that *somebody* does hold stock, but compatibility seems to be a little bit unclear (I'd have thought retailers would have an inkling which lathes their chucks are compatible with - nope). Re making a DXF file....what a kind offer - I've now spent a fair bit of time learning CAD so reckon I can now knock up my own, but I don't have the dimensions ....I do have the mount of course, but it's a tricky shape to measuring accurately - I guess I can have a go then print it out onto paper until it's a good match!Last edited by HankMcSpank; 14-08-2009 at 09:41 AM.
