Your cart is empty.This spindle adaptor is used to adapt lathe spindle tooling to the lathe with a different threaded spindles. They allow your chucks and faceplates to be interchangeable between lathes with different spindle sizes. Now, with our NOVA adapters, you can share your favorite tooling between multiple lathes, without having the expense of duplicating tooling.

This is a great adapter to use for multiple chuck on various lathes. Good quality steel and accurate threads.

I used this adapter to mount a 1-1/14" Nova chuck to a 1" 8tpi lathe spindle. There was visible wobble in the chuck and I knew something was really wrong. I ran some tests with an indicator on a spindle that has under 0.0002" of runout (and the runout on that spindle was actually oriented to favor the error on the Nova adapter). The Nova adapter has 0.010" of runout on the thread body - that is visible wobble and totally unacceptable. I measured 8 thou of runout in the interior of the adapter and over 9 thou on a known good 1-1/4" 8tpi faceplate (the same faceplate has under 1 thou of runout on my 1-1/4" spindle lathe). If you have 10 thou of runout just in this adapter, that could easily mean 1/32" or maybe 1/16" or more out on the part you are turning.For a $45 part, this thing should be accurate to a couple tenths, but the error is 50x that.Another thing that bothered me is the bevel on the front edge of the 1-1/4" threads - it looks like someone just free-handed this with an angle grinder.Even if you gave this adapter to me for free, I'd still be searching for a replacement.

Not a lot of choices out there but I suppose for a machined part it is priced acceptably. There could be a small amount of runout but have been able to li e with it on a wood lathe.

Heavy duty. Well made. Expensive.
