Very cool for roughly center on square stock! When i need to drill center in handles I use a four jaw chuck that works the same as a normal three jaw one. All four jaws move at the same time, not individually like four jaws usually do.

Funny seeing a tool I own on your channel for a change. I am not a knife maker but I dabble in metalworking. I found you channel a long time back looking for tips on sharpening and shaping cutting edges for wood turning. Now I am watching you use woodturning tools for knifemaking.

Oh hey, thanks so much for the shout out!! That's a great looking chuck for that purpose! Blocks being jointed square doesn't hurt anything 😁. Definitely want to add a lathe to the arsenal.

That certainly came in really close to centre, well measuring by across a screen, as you said parallel would be great and little work to true it up from there

I haven’t watched the video yet I’m only 1.5 minutes in but a good way to do it on the drill press is to tack weld a center of sorts to something that you can clamp to the drill press table, put your drill in the chuck line the center up and put a center mark on the bottom of the handle and set it on the center jig you made and it will be perfect every time

It doesn't have to be perfectly square. Close to square is probably enough. If you blank has a big taper or bend, additional measures will have to be taken. I do pen work so I deal with imperfect blanks but as long as it's close to center and I have some margin of error for shaping, its just fine.

I have gone through three of them, I would NOT buy another. I have had my pen blank fly out usually after several uses. The metal of the chuck is cheap and bends or wears out and the jaws splay out and does not grip well and blank will fly out. Had to demonstrate this to a company rep to prove it. Better to get pen blank jaws for your chuck. A good quality chuck has pen jaws that do the same thing, these have lasted many years with no problems I would not recommend these.

My experience has been the opposite of yours. I use mine regularly and have not had a problem. I really like mine.
