    We all have to learn....Last year at this time I was paddling the same boat.

    BTW.....does your drill chuck have a threaded hole in the end with the morse taper? If so...it's probably thread to 1/4x20 IIRC. Get your self either a long properly threaded bolt, washer and wingnut or some allthread with the proper thread, washer and wingnut. Should you ever decide to use it in your headstock it'll prevent it from coming out. I use a long 1/4"x20 bolt, washer and wingnut to secure mine when I'm using my mandrel and turning bottlestoppers. If you don't you can chase that rascal around the shop.....PDAMHIKT

    You can't use the bolt when using the drill chuck in the tailstock....or at least to my knowledge you can't.....

    Ken the only problem you had is you didn't have any paddles to paddle.

    Bonnie you got the scoop. Let us know how it works out for you. I just had to harass Ken.

    Not sure if mine has the hole you mention. I'll look at it good in the morning. Today I should of avoided the shop This morning I had a jaw fly off my jumbo chuck. Bad chuck I'm guessing since PSI has kindly agreed to send me a new chuck (or they cater to fools )

    If it DOES have the hole, could you post a picture or two so I'll (maybe) understand the bolt information?

    this is one of those times where "no picture? it didn't happen" works in your favor Bonnie. good luck. (don't forget to drill slow, go too fast and the wood over heats and splits, yeah, voice of experience, but then, "no picture? it didn't happen")
