That is the one I was looking for, thanks John. That being said, John-Som, interesting link as well , thank you both. Chris --- End quote --- Depends on where you are in the board when you search... seems to me, and I need to verify this, that is I were to click 'search' while reading this post... I would only be searching 'How Do I??' Now if I search from the main page, I search the whole forum. I need to verify this. Eric |

This depends on your lathe; but I worked out this solution when I had a similar problem. My little lorch has a 10mm bore that takes collets similar to 4C(?) with a draw bar from the back. The chuck screws onto the nose and will go over a collet. Its as simple as installing the piece of round stock a collet, set it to some suitable length, and putting the chuck over the top. Once you've made the first item the you have the top slide vernier reading for the rest. I'd imagine if your lathe has collets in the nose and a screw on chuck it could work. No pictures sorry Pete |
