MYFORD ML10 SPINDLE NOSE THREAD CONVERTER/ADAPTER.

[GRAHAM SIMPKINParticipant @grahamsimpkin88610]

Hi everyon, I am new to the forums and wonder if someone can help please. I recently aquired a Myford ML10 . The lathe has no chucks with it . I have other small lathes ( woodlathes all with 3/4 x 16 unf spindles ) and I have quite a few different chucks good quality four jaw self centering , er collet chucks and small 3 and 4 jaw chucks all to suit these lathes.

I would like to be able to use them on the Myford but after much searching online, I am unable to locate an adapter / converter from the Myfors 1.1/8 x 12 thread to a male 3/4 x 16 thread. Can anyone tell me where I might be able to get such an adapter from please?

Any help/advice will be very much appreciated.

Thanks.

Graham

I know this is not what your are exactly looking for but maybe it could be adapted.

Hi Ian.

Thanks very much for your reply. I had seen that adapter and as I have a unimat four jaw chuck so I am going to order that and also the 3/4 x 16 MT2 adapters I found on the Chronos website, it was more for the larger four jaw self centering chuck that I have with a 3/4 x 16 backplate and some unusual collet chucks that have the smaller thread integral in the chuck bodies ( the MT2 adapters dont have a draw bar threaded hole so I dont like the thought of using them on the larger chuck. If I cant find an adapter I will probably end up either buying a suitable 3 jaw chuck or perhaps a bac plate and have a go at fitting the big chuck to it ( All new to me just a shame to lose the use of it for my other lathes. I will keep looking and hoping.

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards.Graham

4 jaw ML 10 chucks come up on ebay, and considering the cost of an adapter if availiable a ML 10 chuck would be the better option as the larger register on the spindle would give more ridgidity .

Best regards.
