Good tips. You can also make a tapered arbor instead of threading. You can tap your part to be machined on to the arbor with a mallet until it locks, then tap it off when it's finished.

A kink I’ve used several times is using an internal snap ring in the chuck grooves to square up short pieces during the clamping process. A cheap assortment from Harbor Freight will cover a bunch of different sizes of stock, and bigger sizes are available in well stocked hardware stores. Cheap and dirty. Just the way I like it! Lol

ER40 collet chuck with a big set of collets... Best thing I've bought for my lathe so far. No more damaged threads holding bolts.

@HighCaliberCraftsman 2 жыл бұрын

Thats a great tip. What made you go ER40 vs 5c or any of the other ER range?

@jagboy69 2 жыл бұрын

@@HighCaliberCraftsman Larger work holding capability. I got an r8 er40 also for the mill along with er40 collet blocks for the vice. The chuck I stuck on lathe came off ebay. It has the adjustments to dial it in. Worth every penny. I need a Morse taper er40 holder for the tail stock and I'll be all set.👍😎

If you can't be bothered with an arbor my trick is to use a bolt which part of it has no threads, one nut at the back and two at the front does the trick.
