WEN LA136K 1/2-Inch Keyed Drill Chuck with MT1 Arbor Taper

works well

Really nice well built Chuck and a very good price. More than enough for most people using this with a small lathe

Heavy weight good stuff

Fits an old craftsman lathe. Well made product.

This seems to be a good beginners lathe. It's not to expensive for a beginner to learn on if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a lathe. There are two things I would change to the lathe 1) A longer knock out bar. The included one seems a little short to me. 2) The dial on the back of the tailstock is plastic. I wish it was metal and had a handle instead of just being a round cylinder. It would make it easier to move the tool forward when doing your turning

Great price! This is a #1 motise taper for a Delta “Homecraft” tail stock. Great for drilling bowl blanks! Works well with this lathe!

I got this for my Wen mini-lathe and it's great: it fits well and holds fairly large drill bits. I was struggling to hollow out bowls so I got this for making a center hole to the depth I need. Then I switch to my gouges to hollow out the rest.

Thus fit the bill for my Old wood lathe, it is the Morse taper 1 (MT1). Will not work on a tail stock that requires MT2!
