I've searched the forum for answers to my problem: keeping my drill chuck mounted in the headstock spindle. The drill chuck has a 2MT arbor. When not using a tailstock and turning small work just mounted to the drill chuck via a mandrel, everytime i come around the right end of the mounted piece, the arbor/drill chuck vibrates loose. It's driving me crazy as it's taking much longer to get that last cut done. I've seen mention of a drawbar used through the headstock only my drill chuck's arbor doesn't have a threaded recess to accept a drawbar.
Question: Anyone know where i can purchase a drawbar for a Jet mini lathe, also what brand of chuck has the ability to accept a drawbar(or can i purchase just a 2MT arbor to retrofit my drill chuck?)?
Sorry if this question has been answered but i couldn't find it in the forum.
Thanks in Advance,
Jeff Myers
