I have a Shopsmith and have used it for about 15 to turn wooden bowls up to about 11" in diameter (both natural wood and segmented). I found that I am doing more and more woodturning (mostly bowls) and decided to move up to a little larger dedicated wood lathe. I have a Jet 1442 on order and should have it in a week or so. I have a lot of accessories for my Shopsmith (face plates,etc) that I would like to use on my new lathe if possible. What I would like to know is if anyone can give me a source for an adaptor that would have a straight 5/8 " male connector on one side and a female 1" x
8TPI on the other side.
