"If I was turning that shaft I'd prefer a conventional three point steady. If that came out it would be a pretty interesting episode. Make sure you tighten the chuck really tight and the steady is set up perfectly. Steadies can encourage the job to begin walking out of the chuck if they're not set up correctly."
