Drill chuck threaded for spindle?

Yikes, what kind of lathe? "8x12 variable", does that mean 8" swing and 12" length? I'm concerned that a drill chuck with an adapter

Tinker toy and waste of money?

Larry, there is still a "ceiling" where being under it brings many, many trade-offs that can result in discouragement and abandonment of the
