    Has anyone seen a spec or recommendation?

    Hi Folks, I'm redoing an Atlas 3986 12 x 36 lathe and it came to me with a 5" 3 jaw and an very heavy 8" 4 jaw Kitagawa that I feel is too much weight to hang off the 1 1/2 - 8 spindle, in research it looks like the 8" (or 4 jaw) chucks that were common on these lathes were hollowed or webbed...

    Hi Tom! I suspect you are correct! Standard modern shows it wired up and the manual reads as though reverse is enabled. I have one backing plate with slots and a collar, apparently that is how they got around the chuck coming off in reverse. I've done a bunch of research and the general...
