I turn mostly green bowls. Typically, I turn an oversized tenon on the rough out. After drying, I use a jam chuck and true up the tenon.
When not re-turning like this, I prefer to use a recess.
What is the best method you've found for holding a roughout without the tail stock so that I could true up a recess after drying?
Vaccuum chuck?
Longworth?
I'm not a fan of Cole jaws (too long to set up) or a Donut chuck (too hard to center).
If it matters, I'm using a Laguna Revo 18/36. Their vaccuum chuck is about as much the longworth.
