Unfortunately I don't have a 3 phase outlet in the lounge.
You could make do with an extension cord.
The pads, being soft, will depress into the chuck pinion holes if you are not careful. Just be careful. Wonders can be worked, sometimes the work's just a bit harder.
I used wet and dry wrapped around some flat bar to remove heavy rust from the turret shown below. The turret was held in a chuck and cleaned up under power.
Here are before and after photos of the turret attachment.

Job Done
I completely stripped & cleaned my 3 jaw today. Used emery tape & a scotchbrite pad. Came up almost as good as Bruce's! Hopefully the Inox will keep it that way

Mine old 8" has that nice "i'm old but still good" patina....I have never thought to clean it up, my new chucks are as shiny as the day i got them, but then i don't have the rust issues many of you do. I have no idea what brand it is, but i found out today that it will hold 1/8" and maybe a tough less even! Not bad for a big chuck.
Back the the backstops, in Mays MEW there is a simple one portrayed. It is like Bruces small one with the grub screw lock only it screws on to the back end of the spindle and has a plastic bush in the bore to keep it centered. Different stops are then screwed onto the end of the bar. The plus i see is it can be adjusted in situ.1915 17"x50" LeBlond heavy duty Lathe, 24" Queen city shaper, 1970's G Vernier FV.3.TO Universal Mill, 1958 Blohm HFS 6 surface grinder, 1942 Rivett 715 Lathe, 14"x40" Antrac Lathe, Startrite H225 Bandsaw, 1949 Hercus Camelback Drill press, 1947 Holbrook C10 Lathe.

Ewan,
That sounds like the sort of stop I have been trying to figure out how to make. Any chance you could scan the MEW article and post it here? Or is that against forum rules?
