Default Vacuum Chucking Tip

Instead of using masking tape to make a pencil fit, I turned a piece of wood
to exactly fit the inside of my face plate and drilled the center to fit a
brad. I put the brad in the center, clipped the head off about 1/4" from the
end of the rod and sharpened it.

"Clear as mud?"

Actually this makes a great deal of sense. I just finished making a
doughnut chuck and it's hard to tell when the piece is centered. This
certainly helps.

Thanks Gerald,
