Just a note, I have been trying to make an adapter plate, and it's slow going as 1: I have no experience, and 2: I put time into other areas of interests.
My first plate was looking good, until I realized it was too thin and the bolt diameter of the new chuck falls within the 100mm shoulder of the spindle mount.
So I started a second piece and flubbed the inside turn and now that is too loose to fit on the spindle shoulder. I am have a hard time on actually getting a contistent measurement of the work diameter. I have a digital caliper but was told not to use that, for measure inside diameters as there is a special tool?
And now as I was working the spindle keeps stopping, I find out the v belts are torn. Low hours and not been over tightend, And of course the number in the parts manual has no USA reference, I saw on the shoptask web site some USA numbers, and that belt crosses over to a L440 which is double the size I need.
