Wow gangstas you are correct. I looked at 3 different lathes and none of them appear to have tapered boss'. That sure makes life easier.
But do you like the lathe? You felt a need to acquire others (I know cast iron crack)?I made this adapter close to 30 years ago for a new 5" three jaw but I can't remember how I did it. The flange had to be modified to allow for the three mounting bolts of the new chuck. I still use that lathe some to this today.

What if you had used flat head cap screws? If the tops of the screws butt up against the lathe backplate, they ain't coming outI made this adapter close to 30 years ago for a new 5" three jaw but I can't remember how I did it.
