I've chucked a 2" ID piece using the outside of the regular jaws of the
standard 3-jaw chuck. Just remember to turn the handle backwards to
tighten ...@;-)

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
