" ...but I don't have a lathe"

Is the I.D. such that it can be tapped and chucked on a cut off bolt? If
not, how about a getting a fairly tight fitting bolt or rod and epoxy it in
then chuck and sand off the threads. Even a hardwood dowel might work.

In August of '05, Veeduber posted an artical on using a drill press as
a lathe. He describes how to chuck a piece of tubing to turn down it's
diameter. In that case, the center line of the work ran thru the
centerline of the drillpress chuck.

Has anyone seen a scheme for chucking a piece that does not line up
with the center lines? For example: you want to remove the external
threads from one end of a brass elbow. -Mike

Ah! something that will expand and provide something to 'chuck' to.
Thanks - Mike
