what I am after is a thing that fits into the drive shaft of a lathe or may be held in the chuck and has a large thread on other end for screwing? pieces of wood into.

DJ those look a little longer than the Carbatec one, would that be correct. They look the goods.

Which is good... You can always cut down but not stretch.

IME, you don't need very much thread length to do the job. Softwoods need a smaller diameter drill than hard woods. At times the screw can be too long for the piece and some spacers are needed to reduce the depth...
And, if the blank size is too demanding for a woodscrew then a faceplate ring is needed or, if turning between centre, something like one of these...

A chuck drive dog can be made with a disk of nice hard timber turned to fit in the chuck, pilot holes drilled and wood screws turned in from the back, protruding to your taste.

I would never suggest cutting the woodscrew. If it is too long for the job at hand I just use one or more plywood packing disks between the chuck and the blank. I keep a few on hand - mostly 6 and 10 mm thick. Stack them if needed. The last thing you want is the screw to bee too tight. They can be a bugger to undo once the outside is turned. I also keep some shelf-liner handy to provide grip when removing bowls.
