Excited in Utopia !!! NEW LATHE ON THE WAY !!!

[JAB1]

OK...I took the plunge....bit the dirt.....bought the Delta 46-460. It is on the way !!!! Also, got the reversible NOVA G3 chuck with it. Seems this lathe is getting great, rave reviews and since I plan to only do pens, etc..small bowls, thought this would be the one to have.

One question.....my old lathe is MT 1....the new one is MT2....do I have to purchase new everything MT2 or is there a way I can use my MT1 stuff?

Wish me luck....Allan

This http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/browseproducts/-1MT-x--2MT-Extension-Adapter.HTML will get you by, but long term you will want to get #2mt stuff....Oh and dont forget it takes one for headstock and one for tailstock....
