Long title with a request for recommendations for a chuck, faceplate and live center for my Shopsmith Mark V. I've looked through the Shopsmith site and they have some Nova equipment, but I thought I'd ask other users about other such upgrades. I want to turn some bowls, plates and spindles. The dead center supplied with the Mark V doesn't serve me too well. I don't currently have any jaw chucks or faceplates.

Thanks in advance for recommendations.

Penn state has an adapter for the shop smith that converts the shaft to 8TPIx1" threads. With that size threads you can use pretty much any well known accessories.
For chucks, I like penn state's reasonably priced "C" class chucks.
I'll try to find a part number for the adapter.
