I am making some lathe tool handles, and need to drill the holes for the tangs.
I only have a tail stock drill chuck, so I'd need to lock the handles at the head stock and feed the bit into the handle.
What is the best way to hold a spindle on the head stock?
Drill hole for a worm screw in the bottom of the spindle? Turn a tenon on the bottom of the handle to sit in the chuck?
Neither seems as easy as using a headstock drill chuck, but alas I don't have one and likely won't use it that often. If I'm going to buy one, I might as well just buy some aluminum handles!!!
