Thread adapter??

There are, but unlikely in that combination of thread sizes. A three jaw will be a metal working chuck and not suitable for a wood lathe anyway (assuming as you're posting in "Wood Turning" it's not a metal lathe you have.).

If the lathe is M18 and the chuck is M12 it would need the chuck boring out and re-threading or you would get too much overhang.
I’m guessing that if the chuck is m12 its one of these type of small chucks
Which are ok for holding small woodworking projects

It is. Is there a solution?
Yes an adapter

As the lathe thread is bigger than the thread in the chuck, any adapter will overhang a bit. I am not sure you will find one off the shelf. You may want to consider getting an M18 chuck instead.
Picking up an excert off the shelf is unlikely, and to have one made would probably cost more than the chuck's worth.
I’m guessing ( though only a guess) that its a park side lathe which uses a strange pitch so there’s no available chucks (yet)
And as that chuck is perhaps the cheapest chuck available the cost of having an adapter made may be unpalatable to the op

It's an einhell one. Normal m18 thread
easiest way then is return your chuck and buy a record sc4 with the m18 insert

If it's a small chuck like the one in the photo by fh801978 it may be intended to go on a morse taper arbour like you would with a jacobs chuck. I have one similar to that which fits on a MT arbour.
