Drilling with a lathe?

[Hookedagain]

I'm still trying to get the end threaded so a drill chuck can be added. None of the local machine shops are interested...they're all "Too busy"

And the search continues!

No, no you don't thread the end. You buy a morse taper with the chuck built into it. Then you just put it in the headstock and bingo you have a drill chuck.
