Wes, awesome job on the collet closer.

Now you can see why I recommend a collet chuck. Oh well, for now I use the top slide.

So, do you use your closer?

Ig, I'll bet he does. I know it's by far my favorite way to hold
anything that'll fit. I have never used a pot collet yet. If the
stock is sized right, collets hold better with less marring of the
finish, little runout, and they're fast. Otherwise I use my 4 jaw, not
having a decent 3 jaw.
