#1 | | Square peg - round hole Name: Robert City: Youngsville State: NC County: Franklin Join Date: Oct 2007  09-22-2009, 01:50 PM
when inserting one (square) blank into one ( round ) barracuda chuck should the corners go between the jaws or centered in each jaw ? 
......did that make sense ? 
TIA for any and all input

That is a no, no. The chuck won't hold it correcly. Turn the bottom round between centers then use the chuck.
Or you can build this.

For larger blanks, like 1 1/2-2" squares I chuck them. The corners go between the jaws. I turn to round up close to the jaws. http://books.google.com/books?id=TnW...0blank&f=false | |

Good links from both of you .........thanx

duster - I chuck my bottle stopper blanks up with the corners between the jaws - I either turn them then like Ken does or just bore and tap them and then turn them on the mandrel - I have had good results either way - as long as your block is square to start with I see no problem

Are you using a center on the other end? I hope so. From a practical stand point, you have to go with the corners between the jaws; otherwise it may spin a little at a time from resistance to cutting and then the corners get to the gaps and it comes loose. | |

Here is another way at stoppers too.

IIRC there is an indention in the middle of the #2 jaws that is designed to accept the corners of a square blank. I might be thinking about my Talon chuck, though
