[AT] Metal lathe question--Chuck size measurement

[Pete Celano]

I have an early 40's 13" South Bend - I know it has an odd spindle, but 
can't remember offhand.  Been a long time since I've cut an adaptor for 
it... I know you can't buy them off the shelf.  I'll try to remember to 
measure it for you tomorrow.  Remembering  is the hard part.

If you want, call my shop at about 4:00 eastern tomorrow and I'll do it 
for you while you wait... Email me direct for a phone number if you want 
to do that.

Pete...
