Hi Richard, This is really nerdy stuff, but here it goes. Legacy on the model 200 came with the option of a pen mandrel that screwed into the spindle. Then pen mandrel was proprietary to the 200. So when they started offering the revo, they made a change to the spindle that would be able to take a standard to the USA drill chuck and that was used to hold a standard pen mandrel that every woodturning supplier sells.
As pointed out earlier, the revo uses a 5/8" mandrel which is a shopsmith standard. So if you need to use your 4 jaw chuck most people sell and you would only use on the revo, you would get the shopsmith adapter for say you nova chuck. Otherwise, you would use the 1-8 to adapter to go with the standard lathes available here an get the adapter that Bill pointed out to fit the revo. How's that for a complete answer!
