I saw some going from #4 to smaller size #3. I have #3 and I want to be able to use #4 drill bits since I happen to have a bunch of them.
I know some people may say that may "overload" the lathe. However, I think as long as I don't force it or step drilling things, it should not cause an issue.
I post here for more responses for pros or cons to this from the experienced machinists.
Furthermore, and more importantly, I can't even find such a thing.
Some of my concern is that if I can find an adapter, it'll be sticking out a bit, shortening the length of work area, but that's not so much of my concern, at least currently.
Another option is is to sell the bits, and buy new bits that works. It just means I probably lose a lot of money on shipping and the hassle of selling them. I don't know if there is a good solution to this.
