Hello,
I recently bought my first lathe, a Swedish (Ejca) cast iron battleship from the 60's. Among the vintage accesories was a 3 jaw chuck, clearly a metalworkers chuck which crushes wood effectively but offers no gripping power. I feel like a hockey goaly using it because I have taken several sharp shots to the face (mask) using it.
While it would be trivial to add protruding pins to the jaws by drilling and fitting sharpened carbon steel pins are there any possible dangers with this I wonder?
