Hello, I’m thinking about ordering the Shop Fox W1752 Mini Wood Lathe, I have been reading threads posts in the turners forum about others asking what type of chucks to buy and what not, they are saying that the spindle taper is MT#1 and the tailstock taper is also MT#1. I downloaded the Owner’s Manual for the W1752, here is a copy of part of the Main Specifications, I am confused, which is it? MT#1 or is it MT#2.
I would like to now before I order this thing, Thank you for any help with this.
