    Brilliant trick! Reed, thanks for posting. Just wish I'd seen this last week, when I made another vacuum chuck for reaching into deeper vessels. 3" x 7" section of pvc, set into a slot in a threaded hardwood faceplate with JB Weld. Would have made it a lot easier to true up the pipe as the epoxy set!

    I saw this on Youtube earlier today and had the same reaction as everyone else, simple but a great idea.

    Thanks for posting it Reed. We all need to remember to post the little things we come up with or see or hear most will help most of us.

    That's a really simple great trick. Has anyone tried truing up a flat surface or a square stick (tool handle blank) with the open end of the oneway tailstock cone.

    Thanks for sharing Reed. That is about as simple as it gets.
