I am a new member to the IAP, and am trying to get my start turning pens. At the time, I have an ENCO 7x10 with a #3 morse taper in the headstock and haven't been able to locate a mandrel setup other than for a #1 or #2 morse taper. I have looked into finding some sort of conversion collar which would allow for the best concentrirty possible, but haven't had any luck. I've also considered undertaking the feat of turning a collar myself with my lathe, but have concerns about how acurately my lathe will be in regard to turing tapers of this type. Let alone the time intensiveness that is involved with turning a project to the accuracy that would be required of fabricating this piece. In a word, it's not practical to try turning this myself, when I can get a #1 or #2 for $15 bucks. I'd be loosing time and money off the bat before I have even turned my first pen.
Sorry to go off the deep end there with logistics, but if there is anyone that could give advice on this matter, it would be greatly apprciated.

This is what you have inside your drill press, It a mating spindle that is already inside your drill press?If you have one inside, you just cant' tell, its inside the shaft (the MT3 end is up), (MT stands for "machine taper") you use a drift key wedge tool placed into the rectangular holes in the shaft column when spindle is down access holes to remove the MT3 spindle that has a JT33 taper on it (bottom) that is holding your drill chuck. You can use any drill chuck with any JT taper as long as the spindle has a MT3 on the other end to go into your drill press.They're nifty as you can quickly swap out different drill chucks or the accessories instead of a drill chuck.Good luck
