>it is for a 12" swing lathe so I do not want one over 3.5" diam. Nova used to sell one that was direct tapped (no bushing) but I cannot find one anymore. Does anyone know where I can get a small chuck tapped to 1.5-8?

>Terry:

The chuck you are referring too is called their "Z" body chuck. I ordered a Super Nova Z directly from Teknatool threaded for 1 1/2 x 8"

Then had an insert made for it that is 1 1/4 x 8 so I can now use the chuck on both lathes.

Woodcraft may have one in stock.
