   - Never turn the lathe without something gripped in the chuck. Make sure all three jaws of the chuck are closed on the workpiece. **__Keep as little material as possible exposed__**. It will reduce bending and vibration.  If you must have a large amount of material exposed, consider using the [[#live_center|live center]] to help support your workpiece.    - Never turn the lathe without something gripped in the chuck.
