If you are cutting on a cylinder face, you hold it in a three jaw chunk. In this case, I want to cut a bunch of cuts on the outer edge of a disc made of Delrin, to make the knob easier to control. (The knurling attachment for the Sherline is limited on diameter.) To make the cuts consistently far apart, I need to mount the disc vertically on a rotating table. A chuck of any sort will have jaws in the way. The rotating table uses a 3/4"-16 to 3/8"-16 adapter so that the Sherline chuck can be attached.
The workpiece cannot have a through hole larger than .152". (That's the shaft diameter onto which it slides.) I needed a way to hold the workpiece securely while rotating the workpiece. So I put a .152" hole through a 3/8" hex head bolt, then a 6-32 x 1.5"? screw through the hole.
