      If I'm going to mount a drill chuck in my spindle I'll use one of my   
   tailstock chucks and an adapter sleeve to 3MT. Now I'm curious about how   
   much runout that setup might have . Maybe I'll look into that tomorrow   
   after I finish making bread . We're out of everything but loaf bread ...

   I do too, for short pieces. The 58B accepts long off-sized rods and dowels   
   through the spindle. I don't have the 58B running completely true yet except   
   in a 4-jaw, but a little runout doesn't matter for many of the small parts   
   mods I make, such as putting dog points and bevels on the ends of screws to   
   make them self-align, or milling a wrench hex on threaded rod, my sawmill's   
   track levelers. The milling has the round work in a lathe chuck or collet   
   mounted in an indexing fixture.   
      
   My AA lathe usually has a 1/2" Jacobs thread-mount chuck on its 1/2-20   
   spindle because I use that faster turning lathe for hand-held filing and   
   polishing where chuck jaws are dangerous. The 58B does the same for the   
   South Bend on work that doesn't fit a collet. It's more nice-to-have than   
   essential but the price was right and I rarely pass up an accessory for that   
   classic lathe, my 1965 Old American Iron and more useful to me than a 65   
   Mustang.
