Here is one on eBay that I was looking at to chuck in my chuck for small parts.
Will be Chinese but looks reasonable quality if the pics are to be believed.

Oh and if you will be making repeat parts then maybe soft jaws would be a better option for you?

 

[Hood]

Soft jaws here, says each but I would expect that is for a set of 3 as even for bigger chucks they are not too expensive but obviously best to ask first if thinking of buying them.

Also double check they are the right ones for your chuck as I am only assuming it is an 80mm one.

Look at Cutwel, Rotagrip, J and L (MSC Direct I think now), Chronos or RDG Tools or of course eBay.
You would need to make an adapter as it will be big money to get a chuck to fit direct unless you get lucky and find a second hand one.
Making the adapter on the lathe itself means it will be true, not so important for a 4 jaw but it will still give better balance if it is true.

Ya lost me bud, adaptor ?? is it not possible to buy a chuck that screws on ?

I'm only just starting on the sewing machine lathe road so I have a lot to learn

 

[Hood]

Backplate, adapter and likely other names.
You may get lucky and find a chuck that fits directly to the spindle but it will be expensive.
You can often get part machined backplates/adapters that will screw on and you then face them and turn the register to suit the chuck.
Dont recall the dia and TPI of the ML10 spindle but lathes.co.uk should have the info.

 

[Hood]

Some chucks here to fit Myford but not sure if the ML10 was the same as the 7 and Super7.
They have backplates on them anyway so not one piece chucks.

Here are part machined backplates, again not sure if the thread is the same on the ML10

[Hood]

And here is a Vertex 80mm with two sets of jaws, get that and a backplate, as cheap as external jaws from J and L or Rotagrip.
Vertex are I think Korean and pretty good quality.

What did you get with the lathe @Badger1bear

 

[scott0031]

You could try home and workshop I would be surprised if he didn't have anything, or you could ask on http://www.homeworkshop.org.uk/

A wealth of screw cutting gears and multi tool post thingamajig

Extra parts will be sourced

Give Pete a pm for a crash course on its usage. Iirc he's only a stones throw from you.

Chronos and RDG have both been good suppliers for me, for a more personal service (i.e. someone to talk to in the shop or phone) RDG were the best for me .. but cant complain about Chronos
