The set screw for the Shopsmith adapter has no leather, it is all metal.  The set screw is cup pointed and seats very nicely.  I will check for runout, but I have not noticed any.  Will verify.  Thanks for the heads up, Gerald.

 

@John Morris,

I looked at several sites trying to find an adaptor that will go from the SS 5/8" to 1 1/4" x 8 TPI.

I couldn't find anything that would do it as a 1 piece unit. Might have to double adapt.

Is the backplate replaceable to change it to 1" X 8 TPI ?

...I thinks I've got 1" 8 TPI to 1/2 straight bore figured out after a brief thinking period ......

...Now if I takes this 1/2" bore 3" faceplate, and bolt it to this 1" 8 TPI 3" faceplate, and add a piece of 1/2" rod.

...Works for me.

As long as the tape holds it should be fine.
