Chucking medium diameter tube in Mini lathe


Capt Ken Appleby <[email protected]>
 

Hi,
I have come across a problem. What is the best way to put a 2"x 8"
Brass tube in the mini-lathe. I find that using neither the 4-Jaw nor
the 3-Jaw allows it to grip sufficiently. It seems to be a sort
of 'Blind Spot'.

I want to machine both ends but to make a mandrel that size seems a
bit OTT.

Any ideas?
Regards
Ken
