Sorry if this has been beaten to death in a previous thread, but "L-00" is too short to appear in the search, and L-00 Chuck brings up everything with chuck.
My Leblond 13" lathe takes a L-00 adapter. The only chuck I have that fits is a big 3-jaw chuck. I want a smaller 4-jaw chuck (5-6") but can't find anything inepensive with an L-00 backplate. I also want to slap on one of those cheap 5" 5C collet chucks but I'm stuck with the same problem - nobody selling an inexpensive L-00 backplate. Anyone else got this type of spindle and knows where all the 5" stuff is hiding? I'm living on a military retirement check so the theme is cheap.
thanks
