There's a huge range of inserts and exerts available for precisely this purpose. Ed Oliver (one of our members) stocks these so it might be worth getting in  touch with him....here's a link to his web site...https://www.oliverswoodturning.co.uk/

Hi Dave

I think for what you need you will need to have something made.

Contact Ian Parkin a member here he will make you an adaptor send him a message Ianparkin

All the best

Hi Dave

I found this on eBay - try a search using   "VIPER2#IN 1'' x 8 tpi to 3/4'' x 16tpi Insert"

Hope this helps

Thanks for the advice,  I have looked at the Viper insert but didnt know if was for a specific chuck

There's also a listing from PSI (more expensive), try a search on
"PSI Woodworking LA341018 Headstock Spindle Adapter (3/4-Inch x 10tpi to 1-Inch x 8 tpi chuck)"

But to confirm, I'd give Charnwood a call to ensure its suitable and a "fits all"

Thanks will do

It's seems that getting an adaptor made is the only safe option, might just sell the chuck as it was given to me.
Thanks again for you comments.

I think I got mine from Axminster, give their technical department a call.

Sandy has already identified the Viper converter, so herew is the website for Charnwood that sells them.
