My guess would be the one in the spindle lock cam. Especially since only two can rotate.

Too much time on your hands. You need a new project

I can't believe anyone would try that set up without a tailstock center. What a rookie!

Keep in mind that second one is not a chuck....it has independent controlling holes...

Kinda reminds of Belt Sander races at the completion of a “This Old House” project.

For me, the limit would be the length of my shop. Sorry, I'm not playing.
