I have two chucks but prefer to keep the second one for the Cole jaws
and save even more time!

Then consider a recess for a reverse hold, finishing before reversing,
and get those Cole jaws back on the pegboard to gather dust as they're
supposed to do. At 8" or under I tend to stick with the 25mm pin jaws
for the reverse.

I think my Cole jaws get about as much use time as the 45mm serrated long
grabbers do. Not my thing....

I often turn bowls with a smooth or pointed bottom, designed to sit in a
seperate stand. I dislike Cole jaws but ya gotta do what ya gotta do...
