Where to buy drill chuck for Emco Compact 5

[Cr23484]

Hi everyone
Besides Ebay and Amazon, is there anywhere in the united states that sells accessories for the Emco compact 5 lathe
The morse taper is #1 in the tailstock
Looking for a 0-1/2” chuck to fit in the tailstock for drilling operations
Thank you

Arbors can be hard to find in the smaller tapers but they are out there. Why the aversion to ebay and Amazon?

Another option is to make an arbor. You can certainly cut a Morse and Jacobs taper on your lathe.

Little machineshop sells a 1MT to 33JT that will work with many drill press chucks of 1/2-5/8" capacity. All Industrial has a 1MT to 1/2-20 arbor that will fit many 1/2" drill chucks meant for hand drills.

1/2" drill chucks using 33JT or 1/2-20 are common.

Thank You Mikey and Aaron,
No aversion to Ebay or Amazon, just have not seen any Emco brand chucks
I would like to buy original Emco chucks and arbors if possible.
Thank again

Check out Banggood tools or CDCO http://cdcotools.com/
CDCO has both key and keyless chucks and MT adaptors.

I believe Blue Ridge Machinery in Hurricane WV also handles Emco parts.

Emco didn't make drill chucks and arbors, at least to my knowledge. They tended to use good European makers for that, Rohm in particular. You might be better off looking for a 3/8" chuck instead of 1/2"; a little Compact 5 might not be able to drill a 1/2" hole.

Thanks for the advice Mikey. I will be calling Blue Ridge tomorrow afternoon. Perhaps they sell a Rohm 3/8” chuck
