May be used as a spindle-adapter for a wood lathe from LatheCity Morse Taper #3 two in one MT3 to 3/4 ”-16 (16 TPI) MT3 to 1”-8 (8 TPI) Wood Lathe Spindle Typical application May be used as a spindle for wood lathes. Included in the package offer are · one (reduced length) Morse Taper #3 (MT 3) spindle with a 3/4 ”-16 threaded bolt end, thread length about 1.5” long, · 3/4 ”-16 nut, · 1”-8 nut, · washer, · 1”-8 threaded end (O.D. 1”, 8 TPI), · short drawbar (screw), · this manual, · safety booklet. Spindle backend tapped for a drawbar. The 1”-8 spindle has 1”-8 outer threads and 3/4 ”-16 inner threads to fit over the threaded end of the MT3 spindle. Thus, this is a two in one system that allow to mount various different chuck sizes. The 3/4 ”-16 threaded end has a shoulder. For the larger diameter spindle a washer (included) will act as a shoulder. For shorter chucks use a nut to adjust the spindle length. These are right hand threads, i.e., don't reverse RPM. Always tighten the chuck against a shoulder on the spindle which can be the shoulder in the Morse taper, a washer, or a screw. The chuck must be tightened against a shoulder or it will fly off. If heavy vibrations are a problem then use Nylock screws. These are all right hand threads, i.e., don't reverse RPM or you will screw off the chuck and nut. Don’t turn a chuck without clamping the jaws on their own or on a work piece or the jaws of the chuck may fly off. Procedure Insert taper end in spindle of wood lathe. Secure with draw bar if possible. (First, wipe off oil which may be on the taper for storage.) Procedure (3/4”-16) For smaller chucks use the 3/4 ”-16 end directly. Tighten the chuck against the shoulder of the MT3 spindle. Procedure (3/4”-16)-short chuck For smaller and shorter chucks use the 3/4 ”-16 spindle, but screw a 3/4 ”16 nut first over the threaded end of the spindle. You may use a washer. Tighten the chuck against the nut/washer using a wrench. Hold nut with wrench and screw lathe chuck against the nut which will act as a shoulder. You may want to use a washer. Procedure (1”-8) Screw the 1”-8 adapter over the 3/4 ”-16 end of the spindle. A slot is milled in the front end of the 1”-8 spindle, a key stock is included. Don’t use plier to tighten or untighten the threads which would damage the threads. Place some cutting oil on the threads. Tighten first the 1”-8 adapter then the spindle. Important, when mounting the chuck then use either the provided washer or a 1”-8 nut which will act as a shoulder for the chuck. TIR-total indicator runout The runout (TIR) may not be sufficient for a metal lathe. The taper is machined on a metal lathe with TIR of 0.0006”. However, we cannot predict the TIR of the adapter on your wood lathe, it will unlikely be better than 0.01”. If the runout on your system is too large don’t use this spindle. Advantage of the design Various chucks are in circulation which require different thread length. This spindle has an “adjustable” thread length. Furthermore, the spindle comes with two different tread types 16 TPI and 8 TPI. Drawbar. The spindles are taped at the backend for a drawbar (bolt). A drawbar is common on metal lathes. It is a bolt or threaded rod which is inserted through the backend of the spindle to secure the spindle. This may not be necessary for wood lathes, but it is highly recommended using a drawbar. Safety/Disclaimer: Adapters are not cutting tools in themselves. Still, general safety rules for machine tools are in place. For an extended list of safety notes, consult the literature or go to our website for a free download of a safety booklet. Do not use adapters or spindles which don not run true on your system. We do not warrant that any accessories can be used for any particular application. Damage on equipment (particularly damage on threads by over tightened screws) caused by usage of accessories is the customer’s responsibility. Make sure that screws are tight at all times. If you encounter heavy vibrations then replace the steel screws with Nylock (vibration tolerant) screws. Hobby machinists tend to stick their nose too close to the machinery. Use safety glasses and protective clothing. This manual does not replace books about metal working and/or proper training. Adapters may start to rotate. In that case, switch the lathe off. Do not try to stop the rotating adapter with your hands. For screw on type tools, make sure that the adapter is properly screwed onto a shoulder. For screw on type adapters, do not reverse RPM of the lathe or you will unscrew the adapter. The lathe spindle needs to turn towards you standing on the front side of the lathe.
