Hi All,
I recently bought a new lathe (JET 1642 EVS PRO 2 HP), I still have my old JET Mini and wanted to use the Talon chuck I had (with the 1" 8 TPI adapter).
So I bought an spindle adaptor from PSI converts the 1 1/4 8 TPI thread of the 1642 to 1" 8TPI - it seems to be well machined, however when runing at the slower speeds it wobbles (faster speeds it seems to stabilize).
I haven't loaded anything on it, since this made me a little worried...
Has anyone had this experience, what do I do? is there a chance that a replacement from PSI would be better than this? Or do I have to buy a more expensive adaptor from JET or CSUSA (at those prices I would probably just buy a new stronghold chuck - wouldn't be much of a difference :()
Thanks
Moshe
