I am disappointed that the chucks aren’t designed to have flat spots for a wrench.
There are times that you don’t want to remove the piece from the chuck and put something else on the lathe. I still think using a spanner wrench is the best option. I did the board clamping until I figured out a better option.
When working I had more money than time. In retirement I have more time than money. Love the time, miss the money.
