Thanks guys. Is there a way to tell from these pictures or do I need to take the 3-jaw off?

That an A1-5 mount. This means you can look for A1-5 or A2-5 mount chucks.

Thanks! That doesn't appear to be a common size/mount combination. The search is on!

Maybe worth looking at, often chucks have a separate back plate and the chuck is a plain back mounting to the back plate.

Please school me on A1-5 mount!

Hey guys, The lathe i agreed to purchase I believe is an A1-5 mount. I've never had one. In googling it looks like it's the same size and taper as the D1 cam lock chucks but it bolts to the spindle. Also, the A1 has bolts inside the taper and outside. An A2 has them just on the outside, so i...

Thanks for the links. I'm looking for a 8" 4-jaw. Hoping to find something used as this is just a hobby for me. Trying not to spend a grand for a chuck. I'm still trying to understand what to buy to get it to fit. My only other experience adapting a back plate to a chuck ended up requiring going to a machine shop because I didn't have large enough equipment to do it myself. Their fee was more expensive than all the parts I bought.

Took the 8" 3-jaw chuck off this morning. Confirmed the spindle is an A1-5 as Zam indicated. The first picture is the adapter plate and the third picture is the back of the chuck. Now pardon the questions:
1. If I find a new chuck that is indicated to be a A2-5, it would just bolt to the spindle correct?
2. If I find a chuck that is a "plain back", I would need to drill/tap holes to mount to my adapter? Or are they pre-drilled at a industry spacing?
