Is it Terry's intention to have the tube spinning in the lathe? That would
require a live center type support for the tailstock cone. I can picture
the smoke coming from the above setup. :-)


Use a Jacobs chuck with the original hole and rod.
Just wax the rod and put a washer between the Jacobs Chuck and the cone.
Should get by at slow speeds. I don't think the morse taper is a good idea.
