Revolving Tail Stock Chuck or Rotating Tail Stock Chuck

[jjr2001]

Thanks for all the great info guys. I see that TM51 had a link where they are putting a large 3 or 4 jaw chuck on the tail stock.
Marv's solution is eye opening....Why did I not think of that....Pull out only the part that you need and then extend the blank
and continue keeping the part close to the collet or chuck.....I will try that method....

So far it is little piece of steel 2 and hobbiest 0.....Tomorrow I will try again.

I think my lathe tool bits were too dull. Sharpened all of them today and we should have a part by tomorrow night..

Cheers, JR

Oh, the model I am working on is Gerry's Beam engine. I posted a few of the parts completed so far here:

The interesting part I am working on is the shaft for the steam chest valve.
