Question for the guys who use this method and produce good results.  Do you ever have trouble with your tool catching enough to make the wood stop spinning?  I tried this method recently on my first insert, and it took me FOREVER to turn it down to 5/8" due to the fact that I couldn't hardly press the tool to the piece.  My first thought to fix this is to turn just a small section down to 5/8" so I can insert in the 4 jaw and turn the rest that way.  I'd appreciate any feedback or tricks you guys use.

Thanks

Michael
