The MT0 is pretty small for that much torque.ChrisAbout a year ago Sherline made available a tailstock with a #1 Morse taper to support their pen making customers. It's available in inch or metric and standard or zero adjustable handwheels. It increases the taper contact area by about 35%.Rog

Sometimes I do wish I could sprinkle some Rapidgro on the Sherline and bulk it up a notch! Still with some care and ingenuity it will make big parts.
Sherline's instruction sheet states the largest diameter tool should not exceed .375". I went for the #1 Morse taper because I felt the #0 was too small for drills over 1/4" as you stated and not to enable me to use drills over 3/8" by using a larger chuck.Rog

Great result, good detective work on the tilt table, something to work on for later!
I've had the same problem with chatter with my Sherline Mill using end mills. I've had better luck using a fly cutter. In this case, the mill would have to be configured in the vertical position.I'm also wondering if the piece could of been mounted directly to the Tilting Angle Table. Again using the mill in the vertical position.Jim
