I just got both of my new collet chucks. theone for the wood lathe is no problem. My Question is about the one for my Homier 7X12 mini metal lathe. This one is a #3 MT and requires a draw bar. I have never used a draw bar on anyting before so I have really basic questions. First how do you measure for the right length bolt? second I assume the washer for the draw bolt rests against the pipe or whatever it is called running through the head stock and not against the housing itself? Third is the draw bar left on while you use the lathe? Thanks
