Hello, I'm thinking to build a wood turning lathe. I live in Hong Kong and I have an access to many cheap Chinese "things". I have found this spindle with m25x2 thread and I'm wondering if there are any lathe accessories for metric thread system or would I have to use some kind of adapter. I have found this one but 25usd makes is twice as expensive as the spindle itself. Maybe in States it would be easiest to ask a friend machinist to make a new threaded bar for this but here I'm not sure if that would be a cheap option as labor in HK is very expensive. Cheers!
