I think I know the answer to my question, because I've already spent an embarrassingly large amount of time searching and have not found what I want, but.............. here it goes anyway...........
Does anybody know of a four jaw wood lathe chuck that has a backing plate mount instead of mounting on a threaded spindle?
Backing plate mount is common on metal lathes, instead of a threaded spindle nose, there is a flange on the spindle that a metal lathe chuck mounts on.
I want to build a lathe, but I'd prefer to mount my chuck via the backing plate method, just so you know what I'm up to.
Let me know if you've seen anybody else in the woodworking world do this, or am I the only goofball who insists on bucking conventional wisdom?
Thanks!
