I am trying to use a pin chuck and my pen blank is not locked into place, it spins around despite the pin being in place. Let me explain it in another way: when I put my blank (with tube glued in and barrel trimmed) on the pin chuck, with the pin inserted in the slot, I can rotate the blank all the way around the chuck - it doesn't lock in place.
Is it supposed to lock when the blank is spinning at 1800 rpm? It does stay still enough to turn some of the blank away, even when I removed the tail stock.
Next question: How do I turn the end grain at the back of the blank? I have only turned pens, this is probably a simple question to bowl turners.
Thanks for any help.
