[ Adapter for grinder ] - 1/4" bushings to 3/8-24 bolt end (connects grinder to Jacobs chuck)
[ Chuck adapter ] - 1/2-20 bushings to 3/4-16 bolt end, apparently used for Craftsman lathe, (we cannot guarantee that this works as a chuck adaper on a metal lathe)

Pricing usually $20-$50/piece for adapters

We have made the most "obscure" stuff in the meanwhile, as long as it is safe ([ Business terms for custom designs ] ), however,
