All pie in the sky from over here. My experience with manufacture is its like the mating of Elephants, however a blink and it appears mass produced in China. Like penkits.

I've been trying to find a 1 1/8x12tpi to 3/4x16tpi adaptor but never thought of a 2MT to 3/4 x16tpi. Is there such a thing?
I don't know if that exists, but you could always buy a die and make your own.

The way the Aussie peso so is at the moment it should be pretty cheap for you.:wink:
Yes I can and I have the right gears but the MT taper is the biggest problem for me as not got all my taper turning parts for that bed plate.
New ones and a replacement is OTT on price to warrant what I would get back. Sooner spend it on something that would be put to use straightaway rather than something that i get partial use.
Looked at even turning a taper to take the B16 and pressing a purchased MT in to it. Again that would have to be very accurate, again not a lover of that due to the problems of it coming off and not being able to draw bar the chuck in position.

Looking around what is an example of what can be made using this proposed metal object, pros spoken of. I burned thirty years of how tos and must make designs recently estimating the real cost of the original magazines at some scary figure, like new cars and add ons time to dream.

No need to turn your own taper, buy one of these and it is easy enough to machine the end so that you can add a thread of your choosing i.e. 33x3.5 and everything can be done so that it is true.

That Is what I intended using Peter will have to see if I can cut a m33 thread on my lathe if not Axminster sell a chuck hub m33 but it has 2 mounting holes drilled through it I have asked them if they could make without holes or just one hole say 16 mil and turn arbor down and assemble interference fit
That could be another interesting option William
The trouble with the M33 chuck hub is that even if it had only one hole in it, it would be problematic to attach it to something and for it to be concentric. If you cut your own thread, at each stage, you can make sure everything runs true.
Peter
If they do, it may be worthwhile asking them to put it on the Arbour that should guarantee it runs true.
