Sherline uses adapter plugs which screw into the RT center with the 3/8 thread, but the plug concentricity is via the cylindrical boss portion which closely mates a hole. Then a different larger thread for the topside to adapt to chucks or whatever. But yes the Sherline chucks are 3/4-16. I made a plate for the RT & mount into my 5" mill vise for fast setups. Its a nice little RT, much better quality than some of the offshore stuff., but it costs more especially with USD FX. Personally I find the Sherline chucks just a bit small for a lot of work. Not so much the diameter grip, but their jaws are not very tall. They do sell taller jaws & I believe machineable jaws, but more $. Anyways just trying to say you aren't necessarily locked into Sherline chucks but the RT table diameter might limit what you can mount via T-nut slots
