    Chuck Insert

    I have just read the thread for the chuck inserts and rather than hijack it, I thought I would start another one. I have a laser engraver with a rotary attachment for engraving glasses, winebottles etc. It relies on a cone at one end and a 'funnel' at the other end. Not very accurate for...
