Have turned a couple dozen pens and I am wanting to turn some closed end Baron's. I need a chuck for my lathe but what do I need to get? I have a cheapie Craftsman Mini lathe made especially for pen turning and not much else but it's all I need for right now. It has a 1MT taper on headstock and tailstock. Question is-- can I put a Jacobs 1MT chuck in the head stock to do the closed end pens? Sears says their 1MT Jacobs chuck goes in the tailstock only which leaves me totally confused as to how that would work. Help set me strait on this issue if you could please.
