Hi All, Greetings from the Creuse, I am new to the forum and to wood turning generally so please bear with me for asking maybe stupid questions.
I want to get a chuck for my 8x12 mini lathe (make as per the title) to aid in making bowls etc.. currently I only have the faceplate and spur that came with the lathe.
What would be a useful size? (I was thinking 4" (100mm))
The spindle is 1x8 tpi so I need a chuck either with an appropriate back plate or to be threaded itself - any recommendations?
I have fairly recently retired to France and trying to find any kind of help here is beyond me
Even getting some types of wood finishes is difficult, so I have to get what I need from the UK... don't get me started
Any and all answers and/or advice is gratefully received. If I've not given enough info please let me know.
Thanks, Chris
