Hi all, I've not posted in this section before. I've just purchased my first lathe a couple days ago. An old delta double duty 11" that has no other identification on it that I can find.
I want to get a drill chuck for it to drill tang holes in tool handles. I plan to use it in the tail stock mostly. I can't find anything online that tells what size morse taper it has. Does anyone here know? Or know what to measure to identify what I have? Does anyone know of a link to an owners manual?

It's almost surely a "2 morse taper.

can you measure across the hole in the tailstock and compare the measurement to a morse taper chart

I have the same or similar lathe and mine is morse taper 2.
