## Description

From the Manufacturer NOVA IYNS 1 1/4-Inch 8TPI Chuck Insert/Adaptor allows you to 'adapt' your Insert Type NOVA Chuck to a 1 1/4-Inch 8 Lathe. Allows you to keep the same chuck and accessories if you change your lathe - you only need to change the insert/adaptor. The internal thread is 1 1/4-Inch -Inch 8 and the external thread matches the NOVA insert type chucks, to simply and easily screw into the back of your NOVA Insert Type Chuck. This then makes your NOVA insert type chuck ready to attach to your 1 1/4-Inch -Inch 8 threaded lathe spindle. Precisely machined from 1045 High Tensile Steel. Designed by the innovators of the 4 Jaw Chuck for wood turning, Teknatool International since 1955. Backed by a full replacement 2-year warranty.

Review: Lathe adapter - Worked as advertised. Perfect fit and made an easy adaptation to my lathe. Heavy duty. Nice finish. Nice to see a product that works as good as or better than advertised.
Review: Simple equipment, works fine - I use this to mount my SuperNova2 chuck to my Jet 1642 lathe. A lot of other full-size lathes also use the 1 1/4" 8TPI spindle size, but check your actual lathe documentation before you buy this to make sure you are getting exactly what you need. This fits solidly, doesn't appear to introduce any runout at all. And there's a grub screw that you can use to tighten the whole assembly (this insert plus chuck) to your spindle so it doesn't spin off when you sand in reverse, or whatever. This works right up until you lose the little grub screw. Watch out for that!

## Features

## Questions & Answers

A: I have a Grizzly lathe same size and it fits it is a 8 1" to 8 1 1/4. why would you need an adaptor for 1 1/4 to 8?

**Q: What is the difference between the old model and the new?**
A: Nothing...the new model is just Amazon's new numbering system.  Product is the same.

A: It will fit any lathe with a 1-1/4" x 8tpi spindle.  You'll need to check to see what yours is.
