Looking for suggestions on making a pin chuck for turning a closed end the refill-end of a Gent (the smaller diameter end).
Does anyone know of a handy-dandy steel bolt size that fits inside this tube?
I have a mini-3-jaw chuck and a 1/2" jacobs chuck that I could hold the pin chuck with.
I've considered finding some aluminum bar stock that's 1/2" and just turning it down to the right size and using the Dremel to hog out the flat space for a pin.
But then I got to thinking, is there any reason I couldn't use a tough wood like Ipe or Ekki? I have a pile of the stuff handy. Seems to me like it would work just fine. I could very easily belt sand a flat on it.
