Re: Machining 1018 Solid Steel Bar
Hi Gang: Don't forget you can tap the stock M12x1 and skip the chuck. Or work between centers. I did some toolpost grinding on lathes with three jaw chucks. I used a soft mallet to make it run true.

Re: Machining 1018 Solid Steel Bar
I took a class in machining, but I learned how to dial in a 4-jaw chuck from Little Machine Shop. I put a 5" 4-jaw my my 7x10 mini-lathe shortly after I got it. A bit too heavy, but very useful.?
