      I'm using the new 3" chuck right now to machine a slug for a   
   veterinary syringe . I bought several at a yard sale with the idea of   
   using them as oilers . The oil turned the barrel seals to goo so I'm   
   machining an aluminum slug with an o-ring to replace the goo . Actually   
   it'll have two , one to seal the plunger shaft and one for the barrel .
