That adapter would work with the one I have. Are you sure you wouldn't rather a self centering chuck? I never use the one I have and I would send it out for say $20 to cover shipping and fuel for the truck.........let me make sure I can find the key and rethink a self centering chuck.
Chuck thanks for the link!!!!

The Grizzly H8040 5" 4 jaw chuck is a direct fit to a Shopsmith without an adapter.

PSI sells an adatpter for Shop Smith to 1x8 TPI, then any normal 1 x 8 acecssories will work on it.
I have one and it workes pretty well.

What does unthreaded mean? It looks like there are threads inside. So this goes on the spindle like any other shopsmith asscessory? Sorry about the question but I am new to this.
I think KMS tools is the supplier that gives a free adaptor with his chucks - but they're self-centering Nova brand...
I think the independent jaw chucks are primarily for metal work, are they not?

The Shopsmith Mark V, 500 and 510 all us a 5/8" straight spindle shaft (no threads) with a flat spot to tighten all the accessories to it with an Allen screw. So the Grizzly H8040 Chuck would fit directly on your Shopsmith.

The independent jaw chucks are great for off set turning or for working a rectangular piece of wood for a turned box or similar. Think of a two or three pen holder with a rectangular shape and sliding the piece between two jaws to shape the pen holder.
Specialty for sure -- but useful for some applications --

Be careful ordering.
The H8040 is a self centering chuck, not an independent jaw chuck. The H8047 is the independent jaw chuck that fits the shopsmith directly.
FWIW, I use the PSI 1x8 adapter with the PSI barracuda chucks on my shopsmith and it works well.

I just started doing this as well using the PSI adapter for my shopsmith:

And then mounted the baracuda chuck onto it:

The setup has been working great so far!

Great idea, but for 139.00 I think I will get the grizzly for now.
