    I would bet it is 1 x 8 or 3/4 x 16. If someone else doesn't know, I'll take a look at my local Rockler when I go in the next day or two.
    It’s only work if somebody makes you do it.
    A day can really slip by when you're deliberately avoiding what you're supposed to do.
    Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side, a dark side and it binds the universe together.

    Heh. If the manual doesn't supply the info, that one might be best avoided. Or alternatively, Rockler should know.

    If not, see above.

    I have the same lathe that I bought used and was wondering the exact same thing. When you find out, please let me know as well.

    If "Ken" at my local Rockler can be believed, it is 1 X 8

    Hmmmmm, can anybody vet for this so called "Ken?" Lol

    A customer was curious what size spindle is on the lathe, wants to take advantage of a chuck sale, but isn't quite sure if the chuck will fit. Strange it's not mentioned at all on the site. Leads me to believe probably a 3/4 x 16

    I owned one of those before Rockler gave me my money back after replacing the motor twice. It is 1 x 8, but I would look for a different brand.

    One of the 'reviewers' said it is MT2 which would make me think 1x8 as most of the 3/4" I've seen are MT1
