I have found that I get better results when I use a tennon instead of a
recess - the chuck can get a bettr bit in the compression mode versus the
expansion mode - you may want to try using a tennon and then jam chucking
the bowl to finish the bottom

Hi

Does the recess have to be perfect. I have a nova compact chuck. Currently
no matter what I try to secure the chuck to the wood, I can tighten enough
to keep the wood secure. I believe that i have the correct angle.Maybe the
cut isn,t clean enough.

Any suggestions
Keith
