Jet 16/40 needs chuck 1.5' --- Advice Requested

[Velcrodog]

Bought a Jet 16/40 recently so I need to get a 1.5 inch MT2. Preference is a 4" chuck since probably not doing anything bigger than a bowl.
Never priced for one so I'm "turning" to you folks for an info or advice you have found to work for you. I recognize and appreciate that each craftperson has partcilar ways and methods to achive the product so don't be shy.
Thanks to all,
Barry Nelson

Barry, not sure what you mean about needing a 1 1/2" MT2. The head stock spindle on this lathe is a fairly standard 1 1/4 inch by 8 tpi. A good chuck for this lathe can be had from Nova, Vicmark and others. Might check with a local Woodcraft store or Rockler. Good luck in your search.
