So would I! I'm hoping to make up a longworth chuck next week so I can finish it off.

Thanks! That looks fairly reasonable. The only issue I've got with donut/jam chucks is I've got a MC-1100, and currently the tailstock just doesn't line up. I really need to get that sorted, but don't feel like taking the bus back to popsshed with a tailstock in my bag this week

How well does that hold up without the tailstock providing support? :/

With a donut chuck you don't need tail stock support as the work is securely clamped between the two disks, but you would want it with a jam chuck unless you use hot melt glue to secure it to the jam chuck and use masking tape to tape it up.

Maybe your tail stock doesn't line up may be because you had the head stock for outboard turning and it hasn't been set up accurately again.

Maybe. I've tried, but will need to do a proper inspection of the base of the tail stock. I can line it all up horizontally, but vertically its off by ~3-4mm. I'll have to check whether its angled up or just plain ole cast too high.

Also check to see if you can raise the head stock with some shims to make them line up. The head stock may be easier as it's normally fixed in the one position whereas you move the tail stock.

You don't need the tailstock for the tape-and-disk method either. Just use plenty of tape. I still use the tape with my Longworth for insurance.

Turns out it was a bit faulty/out of alignment. Pops Shed blokes (James, and the second time with Josh) came over twice today, first to see if they could shim it, then to just replace the whole thing after hours. Can't fault that level of dedication to the customer!
