Very new to this hobby but learning, and I keep seeing videos on different ways to thread. Some techniques use reversing the lathe to feed away from the chuck so you don't have to worry about stopping the thread exactly at the right time. Those showing the technique also warn against using a spin on chuck for this technique since the chuck can easily spin off. My old MW Logan has a threaded spindle and it does have a reversing switch for the motor.
Question, is there a way to "lock" on a threaded chuck or reduce the likelihood of it spinning off? If there is an old discussion on this, I apologize for not finding it. Thanks for your thoughts.
