I almost called PM today to get a clarification on "direct mount" . I understand the Dx whatever camlock, I understand the threaded spindle, i.e. 1.5"x8 tpi, but, I've never seen specs just say "direct mount" , what exactly does this mean.
And no fun holding a chunk of metal as one's fat fingers try to get one bolt in...and then drop it.
Grizzly sells a plain back 5C collet chuck. It's a bit pricey but it is a Bison and it is really really nice. I bought one and made a back plate for it for a 10" lathe. I am getting about .0001" run-out at the chuck and less than .0002" 8" out.

I don't know what you mean by 'plain back'..0001" run-out is amazing in my world.
I know it's maybe a bit late, but lining the man play zone with plywood is the way to go, you can screw stuff to it anywhere you wont! My USLESS builder was supposed to do mine like that, he was putting up the last sheet of gib, err drywall, when I arrived! should of jumped up & down yelled & screamed, but I'd upset him enuff......according to R!
Looking good!! But as an old wallboard guy I have to point out that there should never be a vertical seam going up from the corner of an opening.... it'll always be cracking and you can't stop it. Joints must butt on the same timber...
