    New to me Ammco 7" Metal shaper

    Surely you are not suggesting that you don't have a way to operate your shaper manually?

    1947 Atlas lathe $2000 Langford

    https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/4817926635099637/ Poor photos, but it looks like it has a turret attachment for the tailstock and maybe a collet closer and milling attachment?

    You are dealing with the symptom. You should be (IMO) eliminating the cause.

    1 1/2 - 8 TPI jacobs chuck

    IIRC my Atlas MFC mill used a chuck like that. I also understood that the spindle for that mill was the same one used for their lathes of suitable size.
