Curt What a great idea! I was trying to figure out how to adapt the LOM holder to my 4th axis on my CNC machine. I had one "accident" where a centered the piece in the middle of the wood instead of at the beginning. Before I could stop the machine it hit the Nova wood turning chuck right where you stick the rod to tighten it. The other problem was that the LOM adapter is a Morse taper 2. It got loose and the piece was turning like crazy because the stepper was not controlling the cut.
Anyways, with your idea I could get a steel rod, place it in the chuck and attached your adapter to the rod. That will give me some room for error if I error do the above mentioned thing again. (That's why I wished the Shark had limit switches). While we are looking at modifications. Anyone have an idea for a live center for the other side. I purchased one for the LOM but the Shark just has a pointed tip. I would like to make a live center for it. Again Curt, thank you for your idea.
