For holding the blank on the lathe I use the centre hole of whatever jaws I have on the chuck just grip it gently bring up the tail stock with your jacob chuck and drill bit line up the blank tighten the chuck jaws to lock the blank in position and drill on a slow speed no special jaws needed give it a try and save a lot of money for something else that is needed
