A recent project required a number of small spindles to be turned on my
Jet mini
using 3/4" square stock. I made a mini-chuck to grip the blanks. It is
similar
to a 4 jaw independent chuck and it screws onto my headstock spindle. A
short
#2MT center is used in conjunction with the tailstock live center to
position
the stock.

Nice to do things for yourself, isn't it?

I just use the pin jaws for that purpose as well.
