I have a small 7 inch lathe that I would like to make on of these for which would be a heck of a lot better chuck for it then what is on it.
keep turning, the one trick I learned with HSS tools is have em razor sharp, the smaller the lathe the sharper the tooling. anyway thats what works for me. that and slow feed speed.
