Does anyone on the forum have experience with the atlas/craftsman metal lathes? I have some questions as I have been looking around at a few.
First, what's the spindle thread on the 12" version? Actually as a follow up, do metal lathes even have spindle threads or is everything put in the morse taper?
In either case, will I be able to use a nova G3 chuck on a metal lathe? I'm really planning on using the lathe for plastics and such, but on the off chance I throw some aluminum in it would that chuck still work?
