Alright guys this is my first post and I need some help. I will be getting a ridgid wood lathe this week and before I hear don't use the circle tube style bed, 1) it's brand new and it's being given to me in exchange for some small work, 2) it's all in gonna use for now, 3) I'm gonna make sure I get the 1" 8 tpi spindle adapter so I can use my tools on a better lathe in future.
Alright here's where I need help, I plan to make some duck calls and maybe some bowls. But the problem is that it comes with no chucks or anything like that so I need to know what I need to get to be able to do it. Would I be able to get a drill chuck for the headstock and a mandrel for the duck calls? And how about the PSI chucks, found one with 3 sets of jaws for $90
