>Yes they do, Russ gave a good link.

The combined runout of the insert threads and the chuck may be to much. You might get away with it for a face place. But at $60 a pop you would be better off buying a new face plate.

>You can't really get a sleeve type conversion because there isn't enought metal left after cutting the threads. You can get spindle adaptors from several people. I bought mine from bestwoodtools.com

just get another faceplate (or 10 :) *LINK*

>You can get 1x8 faceplates for $10 qty 1 or $6 each qty 5 from the guy below. So for the price of the converter listed above you could get 10 new faceplates.

It is a Godsend. I am able to use my old faceplates and chucks with out problem. The runout is undetectable.

Well worth me money if you have a big investment in the other faceplates like I do.
