Watching Bills purchase of his Hollowing Tool at a demo this was my rush of blood about ten yrs ago pen rest on the shelf I threaded the shaft to take this quality drill chuck used the my design mandrel saver too tiny to play with over time.

To avoid confusion I trimmed the pic down originally it was driven by a 12v motor housed in the extrusion, I mounted it on a heavy section of aluminium for a base. This is the lathe. The unit goes back 20 yrs the chuck was a new one has exceptional grip made for a hammer drill of quality bought it as a new spare. I framed the right hand side in 1/4 inch aluminium sheet I cut on my big drop saw. One of those awful experiences the saw moved slightly and the blade shattered I keep the aluminium piece in a box the broken piece of blade buried lock solid in the aluminium it bent the shaft of the saw and wrecked it scared me to be ever so much more careful and now I use the band saw to cut aluminium.
