[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 545457, member: 24284"] It seems to me the first patent for a multiple spindle machine was in the 1890's! Form tools were already used then on single spindle machines. You really are 'crawling around in the dark' , aren't you. You'll have to get rid of the chuck and go to collets. You'll probably have to build a pneumatic opening/closing system for the collet(s) or find an existing device that can be made to work with your machine. On a W&S #3 Electro-Cycle (turrent lathe), that I did set-up work on, there was a pneumatic 'bar feeder. It would handle up to 1 3/4" material, yours should be much easier to build (because of its small size and lesser air requirements). You'll need an adjustable bar stop, of sorts, too. One that works automatically. [/QUOTE]
