The Spindle on my husband's new to him Delta floor model woodworking lathe xx needs some assistance, as I can't screw the Nova Chuck on his lathe. The Nova chuck works on my Jet Mini lathe with no issues, and I've used his Nova Chuck, was first to try it out.
rethreading a lathe spindle - FineWoodworking
I found this link on the FineWoodworking forum... since I'm in a machinist forum, would love to know the opinion of machinists on re-threading the spindle. I've only used hand taps and dies on tiny, tiny stuff like 00-80, and 00-90 threads.
I liked the dykem post in the finewoodworking forum, but would use a sharpie instead to find out where it is catching. I have lots of files, and am used to using files, and of course have a collection of riflers.
Do I buy a new 1x8 die?
