Thread size

Instructions state output thread is 3/4 x 16. Ordered a 4-jaw chuck that will not seat tight. Measured lathe thread - it comes out .701 (11/16) x 10, NOT 3/4 x 16 as mentioned in the instruction book. Is there any way to use this chuck?

Hmmm... could that be 18mm x 2.5 ?

(not that it helps)

If you can, return the chuck. Most quality chucks now come with interchang eable inserts. If you cannot return it, you have two choices you can eithe r throw it away and get a name brand chuck or you can have a machine shop m ake you an adapter. The second is cheaper, the first is the better choice.
