Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum and I am new to turning overall.
I happily purchased a decent lathe Delta 46-700 and it is missing a couple of key components. Specifcally the live center and the Headstock spur center (drive center). The drive center (46-709) is no longer made/available. The live center (46-712) is showing availlable only through Mikes Tools.
My question to forum members is, can you help me identify a quailty chuck or drive center for this particular lathe (preferred chuck) and is there a preferred or recommended live center for this particular lathe that you are using and happy with?
My goal with this lathe is to turn a bagpipe (since I play the pipes) in the future.
The detalils that I have are:
1) No. 2 Mores taper shanks for both parts (drive and live center).
2) Spindle shaft (not sure if the size or there is a standard size)
Thank you in advance.
