[AT] Metal lathe question--Chuck size measurement

[william.neff.powell at comcast.net]

Hello,

I think Mark is right on this one. Probably the thread sizes available where chuck screws on to spindle. 

I have an old 9" South bend. We bored threads into a 4 jaw chuck to make it fit the spindle, I believe there were 8 threads per inch....

Regards,

Will Powell
