I was really surprised how much faster it was to open, pull,

am releasing the collet before the lathe finishes spinning down.

When I was running smaller diameter plastics in my Omniturn, I often
advanced material with the spindle running full speed. Bring up work
stop, open collet, grab material with needle nose pliers and pull out,
lock collet and go.
