looking for a 3 jaw chuck

[seanphotoguy]

to use in my laser engraver

Comes with a 10mm 1.5 thread and I need to find a chuck for one side and a live centre for the other for pens.

Anyone solve this little dilemma before me?

Hopefully the metal lathe is the right place to post this.

do you have a fixture to hold a live center already? I would have an adapter made if you cant find one . Make it to fit a 3/4 x16 and use a sherline or taig chuck. Taig will be cheaper. You could also buy a Taig or Sherline tailstock and live center if you need that end. Both have 1 inch risers if you need one of those. Sherline also makes an adjustable tailstock for use on mills that bolts to the table and adjust up and down somewhat.
