259 forum posts 77 photos | It is now removed. Thanks for info above. A chuck key did not work, but a good sized allen key tightened in the chuck jaws and then a good hit on that did work. 3/8 UNF thread. I can now turn up a tapered mandrel with that size thread on other end to fit the small lathe I am restoring. Mike. |
