Time to learn to tap 3/4 Faceplates, if you find a tap.
Wonderful lathe, BTW. Turned on one many moons ago.
Better to follow the leader than the pack. Less to step in.

Perhaps you can find or have machined an adapter to screw onto the 1X12 spindle, converting it to a 1X8. I have one for my ONEWAY 2436, bought from ONEWAY. Before I bought the item from ONEWAY, I had one made in a local machine shop. Allowed me to use all my 1X8 accessories.

Actually, the lathe is probably useless to you, so you might as well send it to me for proper burial.
