The DB headstock spindle of thread M16 x 1 screws directly into the chuck. Made from steel and offering 1. The chuck has a M16 x 1 thread for fitting directly to the DB headstock spindle. Five piece HSS chisel set A high quality set with the most frequently used turning tools: gouge, skew, parting tool, beading tool and scraper.

Neatly packed in a wooden box. Drill chuck with sliding sleeve for the tailstock of the DB Clamps up to 5mm. Is inserted on the spot of the rotating back centre.

The feed movement results from sliding the complete tailstock. I can work with it ok, just looking for a steadier hold. How do you handle long spars pushing through the chuck without marring them when the chuck is tightened. I use a thin strip of fine grit sandpaper wrapped around the spar a couple times. I find the chuck then grips without damaging the wood. Yes, the point is the lathe is shorter than most mast and spars so the tail stock can't be used - unless you run it through the chuck as Derek described.

The boards are drilled to accept a roller blade bearing. The far board is clamped according to the length of the mast. The central board is movable and acts as the "steady" to which you refer.

If the mast is not the same diameter as the bearing I have a series of wooden "washers" which I insert into the bearing. In fact now I have several bearings with different sized inserts.
