My newly acquired champion 10" has a 1.25"-8tpi spindle nose. As near as I can tell there's a slight taper to the threads. I bought a 1.25" chuck backplate on amazon, thinking I could just spin it on, but it only goes on a few turns and stops.
Before I go down the do-it-yourself rabbit hole by trying to modify the backplate....
Is there any place I can get a 1.25"-8tpi adapter that will allow me to use the more modern chucks out on the market?
should I try getting or making a bushing to go from 1.25" to 1.5"? would that bushing be too thin?
on the one hand I'm new to this and not afraid to dive in and learn the hard way, but on the other hand it's best to get guidance from someone that knows what they are doing.
