Machining a Backplate for a 6-Jaw Chuck for my 1942 South Bend Lathe – Part 1

The shop has acquired a Buck Chuck, 6 inch, 6-jaw chuck that has a back plate for the 1960 South Bend Lathe. I would like to use this on the 1942 South Bend, but that will require a different back plate as the spindle nose threads are different. These aren’t available commercially, so I have no alternative than to make one.

During the process of machining the back plate, I would need something to measure the progress of the internal threads, so I thread gauge is necessary and I will also need to make one of those!
