Evening members, l'm stuck - l want to buy a 2-Jaw pen blank holding chuck such as the one on McJing's link: http://ift.tt/V09Kfd
Only trouble is l'm not sure the thread on my lathe is the same as what they have listed, l took the head stock face plate down to my local wood club to see what the hole and thread sizes were and they said it 30mm 6TPI, l checked McJing's but there are no 30mm 6tpi to 25mm 8 or 10 tpi reducers.
Then l thought would a 5" 4 jaw chuck with a MT2 shaft (for want of a better word) attached do the job? what size do l need in the MT2 shafts in regards to fitting a 124mm/5" 4 jaw chuck?
Now l'm not really clear on the above as my knowledge is very limited as l'm just learning but the 30mm 6tpi is to the best of my knowledge is correct.
So what are my best options? hope the above makes sense - l just wish all the sizes were the same - K.I.S.S would be a no brainer in this area.
Regards
Stevo
