If you have a Taig lathe, I am curious what you use to hold the pen mandrel in the head stock. I use the collet system. I was thinking about using a drill chuck. Or???

That would make much more sense and be far more accurate as long as it's been machined true in the first place .The shaft is threaded and screws into the cap.
I wonder if the ones that they sell are actually made by Tiag or not ??? I do know that all the parts for that lathe that are sold by Lee Valley are either original Tiag parts or parts that are being made in their own factory (and they have VERY high QC standards) .Doug, I tried to buy the one Hank uses. The guy I buy from wouldn't sell it to me because he gets too many returns on it he said.
