I'd be interested in hearing how they work. Have thought about buying a set. In the past I've turned a shaft to the size I need, drill and thread the end for a pipe plug then split it on the band saw.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

I've decided not to use the expanding arbor. Instead I'm going to bore the hole to size and then make an arbor to match the bore. I'll tap a hole for a bolt in the end of the arbor to hold the piece on. That's how I've done it in the past and it's worked well.

What a stringy mess. My lathe is so dirty I'm ashamed to take a picture of it. Anyway, I got some more done on the power feed today.

The stringy mess.

   

The culprit.

   

The result, a nice fit.

Ya, if my lathe ever got that dirty I'd never take a photo either.
Nice machining by the way.

You guys should be ashamed when you have a CLEAN machine, not a dirty one!

Ed, why are there blocks between the work piece and the chuck jaws rather than just copper or brass shims? Did you need the back of the part clear for a big through hole or something?

Rotfl guilty as charged.

The opposing jaws wouldn't close enough to clamp the part, they ran into the other jaws, so I had to add some packing material.
