Hello everyone, I need some advice. I would like to be set up for drilling blanks on my lathe. I have a Jacobs for the tail, but no collet or pen blank chuck. I do have this:
H6265 4 Jaw Wood Chuck 1" x 8 TPI
Very nice chuck for small bowls, boxes, etc......
Is their a way to drill blanks with this chuck, or some other manner without purchasing a dedicated blank drilling chuck? I cut most of my own blanks, so I do have the ability to go a little larger on the blanks. I've thought about fabricating something for my 4 jaw to insert between the jaws and blank to make up for the difference between blank size and minimum on the chuck....is this possible?
Any help is appreciated!
