Hi All

"George" wrote: /snip/ The weakness of the Oneway
design is that it has to "grip" by distorting or destroying the integrity of
the portion gripped.

Thus my preference for non-destructive mounting using dovetails to shoulder
either in recess or against an external shoulder./snip/


So I went and turned a large 20"+ wet Sycamore Bowl to have a look at
the distortion and destroying that my Stronghold chuck jaws would bring
to bear on the portion gripped, as it turned out, there was no evidence
or any indication of any destruction nor other weakening of the portion
gripped to my observation, but maybe I'm wrong ??

To those that like to see any of the distortion caused, I have loaded
some pictures, so you can decide for yourself if the distortion and
destruction is really unacceptable, or just a figment of the imagination
