CallMeAl:
This is a good idea! I hope I can remember it long enough to use it.

John Stevenson:
To save putting a lot of strain on the point of the centre and / or marking the work, stick a small ball race in between the centre and the work.
Helps spread the load and also allows you to use a thinner normal dead centre so you can get closer in.

Stilldrill, very nice chuck guard you have on the last picture. How it is swung and lockked? I had plastic one, that had a miserable single poxy screw. Needles to say it failled to protect anything and broke away when back of my hand met it :lol:

Hi Pekka. Thank you! 

It is fastened on to the original clamp blocks, as a direct replacement to the original perspex "guard".........

Sorry, I do not have a clear photo handy. But I could take more later, if you need any.  :thumbup:
