So, I'm entirely new to wood turning and lathes in general. Plenty of shop experience, but not on lathes. Never been around them at all.
So recently I got a small lathe, Jet 1014, which I understand is nothing great or fabulous, but I paid 100 bucks for it plus bought a Nova G3 and so far it's worked well for my needs.
What I am looking for is some advice on what I need in terms of a drill chuck for the footstock. Everything I'm seeing that says it's compatible with this unit seems as though it's not.
The live center comes out of the footstock and looks like this.

But all of the chucks I can find seem to be tapered, which that is obviously not (Unless I'm missing something. Doesn't seem as though the center piece on that live center comes apart NOR does it seem tapered inside or out) and are the tapered ones like the 1/2" #2 Morse taper PSI unit seen here.

Any suggestions on this, or other accessories that will work with this unit including a wider tool rest that will fit the bore on the rest base of this unit would be greatly appreciated.
