Ok I need to ask a dumb question. I have a cheap 8x12 habor freight lathe. I am trying to turn down 1" solid round stock. I turned down short pieces 4.5 " no problems. I need to turn down a 9" lgt., do not know how to center the end for the tail support. I tried drilling for my live center but can not get it centered correctly. The 1" stock will not pass thur the chuck to let you drill the center for your tail support. Thanks in advance. Please don't beat me up to bad. I am trying to learn.
