Hi Phil

Thanks for the speedy reply, Yes it is for the RT only.

I have seen chucks with back plates that get secured to the RT but I just thought if the RT was centered and I added the chuck and back plate I would have to re-center again.

I happy to hear your suggestions for mounting it.

Cheers

Usually the back plate does the centering.

Oh I didn't know that. The only thing is I don't think there is a back plate for my chuck, so might have to buy a new one but I really want to use the lathe one as it seems abit of a waste .

Hi Ian,

I meant will it be permanently attached, or only attached occasionally ?

Oh sorry Phil, occasionally just to keep my options open.

Hi Phil

I should have mentioned that I may also want to use my lathe face plate on it aswell so the 2 morse taper with threaded end would be very helpful.

Hi Ian,

The best way to do this is a plate "That has a recess" that locates on the OD of the RT it will be fixed to the RT by cap screws into T Nuts the chuck/face plate can then attach firmly, the morse taper will be a flimsy way to do it.
