    Something like this ER11 R8 collet chuck might have been better,

    but the crazy setup did work. In fact this is the third time I have
    made a mold using this setup with cross pins.

    I actually have an R8-ER16, but the collet nut didn't give me enough
    clearance to do the job.

    My current silly setup is a 1/2" piece of steel plate bolted to a
    faceplate . It will be a fixture to hold a connecting rod so I can use
    the lathe and my dremel fixture to open up the wrist pin hole . This is
    part of the Arctic Cat 600 to 660 performance upgrade . That boy is
    gonna kill himself ...

    No matter how sketchy the setup, just make sure it can't break free and
    chase you across the room, because I can guarantee if it does you will
    not out run it.

    I went ahead and ordered an inexpensive (cheap) one of these.

    https://www.yumabassman.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/ER11-R8.webp

    Even if its not fantastic and wonderful its got to be better than an 8mm
    x 120mm straight shank. It might even get here as I am finishing this
    batch of molds. LOL.

    ... or it might be a waste of time if the tool holder nose is to close
    to the spindle nose or quill shoulder. I guess I'll just have to wait
    and see.
