arbor thread adapter

[jskeen]

Anybody know where to get an adapter that will change my 1 inch x8 tpi arbor up to a 1.5 inch x8tpi? Looking at a chuck for the larger arbor, and can find the oposite adapter, to downsize to a smaller arbor, but I need to go up.

Thanks
James

I just received an arbor adapter from The Wooden Post and am very happy. I don't see the size you requested but they do custom as well.

Chuck, Thanks, yes, they have it, but they want an arm and a leg for it.

Bill, they don't have it in stock, but will make if for the other arm and leg, plus a little extra of your choice.

Appreciate it, but at those prices, I'd be just a well off waiting till I can save up the money for a chuck that fits directly.
