Good afternoon all,

Very quick question (i'll caveat it with I am away from my lathe so I can't check this myself), but what spanner size is needed to remove or fit the Robert Sorby 1" x 8 tpi to the Patriot chuck or to remove the chuck from the spindle. Is it 38mm (1.5" in old money)?

The nut is 1 1/2" as I took the measurement from that as it just happened to be on the bench
