How do you put a jacobs chuck in/on the tailstock of a Jet Lath
With an arbor to fit the taper.
Hi H??
Here's a link, shows the parts that are needed, most wood lathes have a #2 Morse Taper, in the head and the tail stock, the drill chuck(Jacobs) chuck goes on the Jacobs end of the adaptor and the other end of the adaptor with the Morse Taper goes into the lathe.
Do you have a drill press? If so maybe you can do what I do sometimes. I'll knock the chuck out of my drill press (#2 MT) and just slip it into in my Delta
14" lathe. Reverse the process when done.Wayne
Hi,
Your lathe probably takes MT#2 accessories in the tailstock. THis is the most common for home lathes. The best price I found on a Jacobs chuck with a MT#2 arbor is at HF
did not know how. You gave me a hint someway that the rotating part o the tailstock needed to be removed. I got that taper removed and now am in business
