Making a Custom Collet to hold a chrome part on a lathe

[theeddies]

Ah, ok, I think I got it. Now you have sent me down a rabbit hole of collet theory (that's a good thing). This application is pretty simple with low accuracy necessary, I guess technically it is just soft jaws rather than an accurate collet, but I have something else I am working on where your idea fits perfectly. That is why I share on here because sometimes you actually connect with people who know their stuff. Thanks!
