Take a look at Ruth Nile's page on turning a stopper. I find the small homemade screw chuck works much better than a drill chuck.
About half way down the page:

Greg: Like Jim said. I have the delta midi as well and ran into that problem Cut most of the flat piece off the end and it seats perfectly now. It's just to long for the headstock on that lathe.

I tried the screw method, but when using the wooden pegs for the silicone covers it requires you to redrill the smaller screw hole left in the turned piece afterwards.
I'm not following you guys on the pin rod method. If you cut a 1/8" flat and then put a 1/8" pin in it, how does turning your piece lock it in place? Seems like you are just replacing metal with the same size???? Help my old brain understand this logic.
