I am looking at getting this Drill Chuck for my Jet Mini tailstock (#2 MT):

"One of the handiest lathe accessories you can have, this drill chuck can be used for both turning and drilling applications.
To use in the headstock as a turning chuck, you first turn a spigot on the piece and then put the spigot in the chuck. For drilling, it can be used in either the headstock or tailstock.
The 1/2" three-jaw chuck is available with either a #1 or #2 Morse taper (MT) adapter (drilled and tapped for a 1/4-20 restraining rod, not included)"
------------------
So, here are my questions. Will 1/4" shank Spade bits fit in this chuck?
And what is the "restraining rod" they are referring to? I checked my Jet mini parts list and cannot find any part in the tailstock called a restraining rod.
I just want to make sure before I buy anything that might be a waste of money.
Thanks,
James :)
