Hi,
Many thanks for taking the trouble to add this video David; it shows the "posh" way of doing the job. I simply reverse the tool in the post and use the thick end.
If I'm re-chucking a turned bar in the four jaw with tail stock support then I place a piece of white printer paper below; bring the tool tip up to almost touch and turn by hand; adjust until the tool touches all the way round and ensure all the jaws are tight before proceeding under power.
Lathe work is great fun and I never tire of it.
Kind regards, Col.
