Jeez, Lloyd, that's not very charitable, or helpful. This is REC.C.M,
&
most of us are amateurs & often have amateurish ideas. Give him a
break. Bob

I did; I hold no rancor toward the fellow. It's just a bad idea. If the
occasional prod from a professional machinist hadn't set me straight on a
few things, I'd still be doing things that could damage my workpieces or
my equipment.

He's welcome to continue it, and I'm not being uncharitable by saying it
is not worthwhile -or even damaging- to do. He did, after all, offer it
up as an 'article' giving advice; bad advice. Some other 'amateur' might
follow it, and fooey-up a light-duty chuck, thinking he might save eleven
seconds of a two-hour machining job.
