I've done it on different items by setting a v-shaped toolbit and the compount parallel to the lathe axis and driving it into the part with the compound. retract, move in a little and make another one..Julian Garrett said:Have seen several times that I could have used that method..Question is "How" do you go about turning concentric grooves in the "chuck"?? I guess one could do it on a RT but I have not had much luck trying it on the lathe. May be my method or don't have th correct bits.

Carpet tape works ok, but not as well for me... it's harder to clean up, releases/slips sooner from heat, dissolves in some cutting fluids and if you cut into it, it makes a gooey mess on the tool, especially on a mill. Superglue is easy and quick-- I do quite a bit with MDF subplates for engraving and just goop on the CA and go.macona said:Also double sided carpet tape is supposed to work well too.
