Interesting chuck adaptation and excellent photos. Has given me food for thought for special chuck applications – thank you. Avoids spending money on commercial chuck products.
I never throw away good chucks from broken electric drills. They can serve a similar purpose of holding small items without obstruction. Unlike your masterpiece Anthony, ordinary chucks have a very limited capacity for holding screw heads inside the chuck.
Just remember that if held by the outer (knurled) sleeve, it could be less accurately concentric, and a high cutting force could possibly unwind the jaws of the smaller chuck.
I tried moderate cuts on a 3/8th mild steel work-piece with no problem with the chuck unwinding (Fig. 1). Smaller stock certainly no problem (Fig. 2)
So, if it has a shaft of some sort attached to the main body, use that. If the shaft has a morse taper that you have no use for, machine it parallel.

Hi Brian
When clicked on, your pics only show a portion of the original. Your pics need re sizing before posting, see details in GALLERY -- Photo re sizing by - Divided he ad. It is quite easy and most newbies need to do it when joining the forum.
Good Luck
Cheers David

Hi David
I've just posted an article headed 'centre marking . . ' in which I have been very pleased to follow your advice and link to the resizing app. Excellent. Is there any way one can review a post to include attachments before posting? Also, how long do postings allow modifications before that option disappears?
