Numptie newbie questions

NickG:
It looks very similar to a Lang we have at our club - massive!

I have been threatening for a while to buy a 9 x 22 lathe, I was also debating on holding my 3" 3 jaw in it, I have seen it done recently and looks pretty sturdy.

bogstandard:
When using a setup like this, if you have any common sense, use it.

If it looks, or you suspect it is going to be unsafe, then walk away from it, and find another way to do the job.

Holding chucks within chucks is an accepted practice, but only within the obvious safety limits. Start at a slow speed and gradually work up, the machine will soon tell you when the out of balance effects are being reached.

Then stay well under that speed.

I personally wouldn't trust doing a setup like that on something like a mini lathe.
