    Thanks for the great videos. I have a lathe very similar to that. I really wish I could put a Chuck on the tailstock.

    They're not chucks. They're collets. A chuck is something else, usually has adjustable jaws that expand or contract to bite down on the part being machined.
    8mm is not the clearance to the lath bed but rather the diameter of collets and the other attachments that are used. You're right, 8mm is the most prevalent so it's the best choice regarding getting collets and other accessories for the lathe.

    8 mm is the drawbar size for the collets

    Hi JD, what model cross slides are compatible with a peerless lathe? By the way, you are my go to guy. I enjoy the content, keep it coming.

      @@joekudlata7113 if you get cross slides that work with an 8 mm WW style lathe they will fit. I have a peerless lathe btw. Just make sure you can return them for some reason they don’t fit.
