Live center adaptor?

[Brent Grooms]

Does anyone know what the thread size is on the PM live center that ships with the 3520 is?

I am looking at a Oneway adaptor that goes from 3/4-10 to 1 1/4-8 so I can install chucks and faceplates on the tailstock for centering on the soon to be completed vacuum chuck setup.

TIA,

Brent

Mr. Hutchinson... Thanks!

That's not the same live center that came with mine. I'll bet it's the same size as mine, but mine wasn't chrome plated FWIW. I ordered mine last year, so things may have changed.

This looks like a Oneway. Is it?

looks like a oneway, but the origin of the picture has it as a PM product. The live center that came with mine is painted black.:confused:

You might want to consider the "Reverse Chucking Alignment Adapter" sold by Craft Supplies. P/N 280/1874 is for a 1 1/4"-8TPI for $28.99. It works great.

I have this same unit and it's great.
