I am trying to figure out how to drill holes in a pen blank on my lathe.
I have a delta 46-460 lathe and the barracuda 3 chuck kit. I also have a drill chuck. Will any of the jaws from the barracuda chuck hold the blank? Do I drill a full length blank or cut it to fit the tubes and then drill it?
There is no where locally to take classes and no clubs I can locate to help out.
I am a Scroll saw guy trying something new. What a difference between the two. For scrolling you buy a saw some wood and go to work. For the lathe work I haven't turned a thing yet and my credit card is already melting!
Thanks in advance for any help.
