Lathe chuck in drill press?

Neil
 

Hi all,

Until I decide which way I want to go with a lathe, would anyone here know
if it's possible to (easily) fit a lathe chuck on a drill press? No, I
don't intend to do any cutting/turning on the press, but I've had a local
machine shop make me some parts recently, and I'd like to clean them up with
sandpaper. If I could spin them, it would make life soooo much
easier/nicer. And since I'm 90% sure I'll get a lathe eventually....

If easily doable, is there a standard for the size(s) of the chucks?

Cheers,
-Neil.

Neil,
What are the dimensions of the parts you're trying to sand?
Are they wood?

6061 aluminum, 2.25" OD.

I've hand-sanded a few sample pieces which will be sent
off for anodizing tomorrow. But my research tells me
that anodizing actually shows up flaws more than hides
it, so I'm guessing that I'll have to really sand them
to almost a polish.

Cheers,
-Neil.
