I’ll confirm that ring drive provides adequate torque for driving a split off piece of log that wants to become a bowl of the size shown. I prefer it to mounting a face plate. The unevenness of a split surface being driven is generally not a problem. Safety advantage. Alignment advantage. I’m not feeling the need for a dedicated screw chuck with this system. Maybe if I was a professional turner?

Did I miss the mention of the threaded end that can accommodate a draw bar for special fixtures?😊
Hi Christian, you are right ! The small end of the Morse Taper is threaded 3/8-16. Thanks for pointing that out !
