I was interested in drilling blanks on the lathe and ran into an issue and thought there may be a solution. I have a drill chuck but due to the shank length, I'm limited on travel with the spindle. It seems that the spindle wants to eject the shank when there's about an inch of the spindle exposed from the tail stock. This is limiting my travel significantly. I thought maybe I could find a shorter shank or a longer spindle so I could get a bit more travel. I struck out at my local Woodcraft on both. I'm not even sure they make a longer spindle or if there are logistical problems with deploying one. I hope I'm explaining this correctly.
Thank you
