Hi All
I was about to pull the trigger on this chuck. I have a Rikon 70-220VSR and the spindle is 1"x8TPI and matches this chuck. Teknatools website claims the chuck should only be used on the Comet II since the chuck has a set screw and can be used in reverse. Teknatool's website point to a G3 chuck model 48202 for all other lathes.
Well.....my Rikon's 3" faceplate that came with the lathe also has a setscrew. So can I use the G3 48232 on my lathe or is this chuck really dedicated only to Nova's Comet II??
Model 48202 does not appear to have a 1"x8TPI thread so I have to buy an adapter.
Thoughts??
Thanks
George
