I recently bought a small 10 x 24 Seneca Falls Lathe. I am mounting a 3 jaw chuck and am turning the new back plate for the same. My confusion is in the thread size for the spindle nose. It is definitly 12 tpi. However I measure the nose to be 1.44 diameter which from what I can find could be a 1 3/8" or 1 1/2". My plan is to by a tap to actually thread the plate with since I do not have the knowledge/skill yet to cut my own threads or the right gearing. Obviously at about $50 a tap I want to get the right size the first time.
