   Mounting a drill chuck in the lathe came up , so I put one of mine in   
   the lathe . My spindle is 3MT and the chuck tang is 2MT so an adapter   
   sleeve was used . This is just "a chuck" , nothing special . Runout at   
   the chuck was .003 TIR , at 12 inches from the chuck it was .012" . The   
   rod stock I used was a piece of 1/2" O1 drill rod . The rod is over 24"   
   long , but I did not consider sag to be a factor in the measurement I   
   was doing .

   For me the advantage of a drill chuck is being relatively hand-safe on   
   mostly finished work that no longer fits a collet. Hand operations like   
   filing sharp corners round aren't precise and the file or sandpaper can   
   follow any runout. It's a good use for my AA lathe which is nearly useless   
   for turning steel and small enough to disassemble to clean off abrasive   
   dust.
