Has anyone seen a 1 1/2" x 6 one anywhere? I could make do with the Axi M33 one at a push as I have an M33 backplate for my Versachuck, but I'd rather not keep changing it.

Why not turn a piece of wood to just under thread size. Then screw your chuck on and off a few times to cut a thread, and voila a chuck mount.

I need to index it quite accurately so a steel one would be better. (I actually made one with hot melt glue .)

Why the need to index it, it's only a chuck storage mount. Or have you got some secret trickery in mind

 

[Phil Pascoe]

I want to mount the chuck and workpiece under a pillar drill/drill stand to move it and drill it accurately.

Have you tried Thomas Smith Fasteners, they do a good range of BSW bolts, more than on their Web site, www.thomassmithfasteners.com give them a ring a see if they have 1 1/2" X 6 bolts, sure that's a Whitworth thread size.

Maybe could use a bolt as the mount post?

How about this option

[Phil Pascoe]

Yes. Anything with the thread would do. They don't have anything that large.

Hmm ............ it would be a rather expensive item to cannibalise.

Wonder if they could do you offcut?

Phil,
Simon Hope also does:
Hope Carving jig spare threads:

Which at 30 tokens maybe got the bill?

 

[Phil Pascoe]

I looked at the jig itself and looked no further. That would be good for a nice tidy job. As the lathe is obsolete I'd rather not use my spare spindle.

Just ordered one. Now I have to think of a way of mounting it to the tailstock as well............

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Just got the invoice. Interesting - it states made and packed in Britain. Good for them.

What about drilling a hole the o/d of the chuck rear boss and sitting chuck in that, perhaps held with a grub screw. You could then mount the piece with hole to a cheap rotory or XY table?

That works with a Oneway live centre, but I can't see it working with anything else.

The tail of the part I've ordered is an M12 male - I'm not sure as yet whether it detatches from the body of it. If it does, it's probably easily sorted.

Could you mount m12 nut into a board to screw it into?
