Hi Mike
I welcome suggestions on other ways to do things so please do mention them. I've only had the lathe a year or so and still lots to learn. I do have a 4 jaw chuck and it takes a bit of time to swap over (retaining nuts are a bit fiddly to access) but I like your idea. Pity I've just bored out the ones for the X axis so they are all done! Next time though . . .
