Hello, have a couple other posts going on the site regarding my restoration of an early 1900's lathe. I have struck out on finding any adapter for the 1 1/8-10 spindle thread. I'm now looking into modding a different back plate to fit my chuck.
I most likely still go that route but wanted to see if anyone would be interested in making an adapter for me. The reason being is in case I ever want to swap out that chuck to something more modern I could. Maybe go from 1 1/8-10 to 1" -10tpi or another common size?
The way it's setup now:
The lathe spindle is 1 1/8" x 10tpi. It has a bronze thread adapter to fit a Union 4" chuck. The chuck back plate is threaded at 1 5/8" 10. The spindle threads are good. The bronze adapter threads are worn causing a bad wobble at the chuck.
