Drill adapter to threaded plasters paddle

[Tonyf]

Hi. Trying to find an adapter that would all this to be used with a plasters paddle (threaded). Any ideas, looked high and low but probably not searched the right terminology.
TIA

Think you've nailed it..thanks!!

You might struggle with this plan ... you need the thread size of the paddle and your best bet is to find a chuck that has a male thread that will fit into the paddle so you could use the chuck with the smooth shaft of the honey creamer.

Enrico beat me to it ...

Yes .. exactly, but I have a feeling that the plasterers paddle may have a coarser thread than the UNF thread on the chuck. You also need to check whether it's a right hand or left hand thread ... there's quite a few variations.

Oof. Think I need to the paddle somewhere to try variations!

Most decent plasterer mixers will come wither their own paddle and makes vary. Many are screw thread attached.
The paddle shown would probably be better off attached to a large sds drill but you will need the additional chuck as the thornes paddle will not be sds.

Thanks. I didn't know the plasters mixers would vary the thread. Nasty

If all else fails carefully grind three small flats on the shaft and use it directly in the chuck.
I've done this and it works well.
Doesn't have to be perfect as its not running at any great speed.

I use this spiral mixer - attached straight into the chuck of a cheap cordless drill (which is dedicated to soft set honey mixing).

Be aware most plaster paddles are made of steal and coated they are not really food grade, you’ll often get paint chips when fitting in the chuck.

Yup - same here
