You may remember last week a bought a sterling 1000 lathe
And I would like to turn pens on it or at least sand and polish pens
well I shouted out for a chuck and the chuck has arrived and now I'm waiting for a mandrel to arrive this is the one

But I looked on the masterchuck 2 web site and the smallest jaws only close to 3/8 which I think is around 9.5mm
and a mandrel is 7mm
I would like to know what to do now and how do I get around this (I said I would make some pens for Christmas (me and my big mouth it would have been cheaper to buy the pens))
My lathe shaft is 3/4 16 unf
