I need to move the point of the dead center in the lathe spindle nose toward tailstock about 2 inches. My 5 MT dead center is too far down inside the thick 4-jaw Chuck I’m using, to allow use of any dog. So being cheap and lazy, the quick-fix that should work is to drop a 5MT to 4 MT sleeve in the 5 MT spindle-nose bushing, then drop a 4 MT to 3 MT adapter sleeve in that, and use a 3 MT dead center for my planned taper turning between centers. There’s a story behind why the 5 MT bushing sits so far down inside the spindle but I didn’t plan on going there since the thread would get too long. See any issues with my plan? I figure as long as there’s no runout at the point of the dead center, there shouldn’t be a problem.
