    I've turned a short piece of 2mm by clamping it in a 10mm holder turned up then drilled out and cross drilled for a clamping screw. the issue is that any length longer than a gnats will see the rod bend with anything other then the finest of cuts. The solution is to use a steady.

    There is a special tool you can buy for this... from Chronos or others...
