it’s a lathe chuck, meant for hollowing out small children with insane precision.

Thank you, much appreciated. I just asked my friend Chuck if he was a Lathe Chuck, and as luck would have it, Chuck is in fact a Lathe Chuck.

I now know who can hollow out small children with insane precision.

EtA: I really do appreciate the ID on the Lathe Chuck!

For anything tooling related, from belt grinders to Bridgeports to CNC programming.
