Woodturning drive

[maltaron]

I have inherited a small lathe with what appears to be an MT0 morse taper drive. I would like a woodturning drive for this but cannot find anything smaller than MT1.

Can anyone help?

TIA

what make of lathe is it?

Thanks for the interest. I have no idea of the make - cannot find any indication.

must be a very small watchmakers lathe the only way may be to make one, it can be done from a blank like this if the blank is mild steel.

Thanks for your help, Merlin. I don't think it is a watchmakers as it has a 300mm capacity and a large motor. However, it does have a normal drill type chuck so I may be able to modify a flat drill bit.
