Anyway, sticking a drill chuck on the business end of a lathe is nothing
new to me.  I did it long before I learned how easy it is to do with
modern machine tools like Snag suggested.

As a lathe the Shopsmith had the choice of a spur center, faceplate or
the drill chuck, fine for wood, not so much for metal so I had to
improvise.

In any case Snag will likely find an arbor press is more useful than he
thinks.

In any case, if you have one,you find more uses for one than if
you do not have one.
Arbor press, grinder, wood chipper, sticky notes, painters tape...
