Chuck Adapter

Stuart Johnson

I want to make up a jig to use on my bandsaw to split rings. My chucks are all 1-1/4 x8 and so far I have not been able to find a bolt that size. Plenty of nuts but no bolts. An option is to use 1 x 8 bolt and an adapter. I can get a Nova insert but this limits me to using the Nova, changing the insert back and forth and eliminating any other chucks.

Any idea where I can find a reasonably priced 1-1/4 x 8 bolt or an adapter that is 1-1/4 x 8 male with a 1 x 8 female ?

Lee valley sells a Chuck storage threaded stud with screw mounting holes. Not cheap but threaded for a 1 1/4 by 8 thread.

Works well for hanging chucks and may suit your purposes.

Happy to make one for you

I have a metal lathe and lots of short pieces of aluminium in various diameters.

Happy to turn a 1 1/4in x 8 tpi male adapter to fit in the chuck. Not looking for money, just willing to help another turner.

Send me a Private Message if interested and we can discuss details.

If you need a pivot point this adapter may solve 2 problems.

Are the threads necessary? You could turn some wood that fits inside the threads and pivot from there.
