My problem is this:My 4-jaw chuck is too large to hold 3/8 square stock.
I have looked high and low,but cannot find an er32 square collet.
I thought of making a cathead(?),but doubt that I could make this accurate enough to hold square stock true.
My main reason for wanting to hold square stock in the lathe is to drill and tap the end.Any other work on it can be done on the mill.
Any ideas anyone?
