I just received my new Wilton mini-lathe from Amazon. I'm impressed with what it has for the price ($99 including shipping): a 2/5 hp variable speed motor (no belt changing), faceplates, live center, spur center, knockout bar, etc. Both centers even line up perfectly!
I can't believe that I can now get out of the shop in the cellar and turn pens, Harry Potter wands, and bottle stoppers OUTSIDE on the back porch!!!
Enough with the gloat.
Question: Is there any problem using an adapter for the 3/4"/16 tpi mini-lathe thread so I can use my regular 1"/8 tpi Supernova chuck OR with getting an adapter from a #1 MT to a #2 MT so I can use my Jacob's chuck and pen mandrels on the mini-lathe?
Thanks in advance.
