Buy on Amazon
This alloy steel spindle adapter converts an M30 x 3.5mm metric thread to a 1-inch x 8 TPI imperial thread, allowing woodturners to mount chucks and faceplates designed for different spindle standards. It bridges the gap between lathes with metric spindles and the large range of imperial-threaded turning accessories commonly available. Overall it offers a practical, cost-effective solution for expanding tool compatibility without replacing the lathe itself.
