Hi All
First project on new Lathe. My dad (80Yrs young) has just treated himself to a brand new wood lathe. He currently has a large apollo that he uses to make pens. But this is too large so he has purchase a very nice VFD controlled wood lathe from a UK supplier Axminster. But Dad being Dad was too tight to purchase a new chuck. He wanted to utilse the Super Nova chuck he has with his Apollo.
So decided I would make him an exert. Lathe Spindle is M33 x 3.5 thread. But Super Nova chuck measures (dont quote me have to check again) 37mm x 3mm thread.
Found one on web but would rather make it as project.

Cut the length of material wanted but just thing about how to start. The outer thread needs to be perfectly parallel with the inner thread so that the Chuck will run true. So I was thinking this.
1. Machine OD down to 37mm ready for threads.
2. Turn job in chuck then drill out to inside diameter ready for M33 threads.
3. bore inside to size
4. thread inside on lathe M33 x 3.5
5. turn job in chuck and thread outside. to oddly 37mm x 3mm (must be imperial but a 3mm thread pitch gauge fits perfectly)
Any help would be great.
Regards
Mike
