    Default quick tip !

    Hi guys, I was turning a large red gum blank and remembered
    seeing somewhere , (on you-tube i think) a good tip to easily
    size your tenon or expansion for your chuck , this was not my
    idea , and apologies to the person , i can, t remember who it
    was, If anyone does ,,please let me know ......so we can credit them...
    Anyway , 1 pencil , 2 small blocks , some tape and it, s done,
    I think a photo explains better , just put in a live centre in the tailstock
    place the pencil with the blocks attached on top and spin the blank.....
    And hey presto.....! a clear measurement of your chuck size

    I will definitely use this the next time I turn a bowl. This is a great idea!

    That's a clever idea.
    Will give it a try out in the very near future.
