I haven't done any turning for quite some time and have recently gotten back into it. I have a Delta Midi Lathe. I'm considering the purchase of a Beall collet chuck for turning bottle stoppers and other small diameter turnings. I currently have a Nova Compaq chuck and have found that not only is it out of production, there really is nothing (at least that I've been able to find) that I can use to modifiy it to hold a 3/8" dowel for turning bottle stoppers. I'm seeking the opinions of you more experienced turners on whether this is a good move or if I should perhaps be looking at something other than the Beall. Thanks much. MattW
