Sorry cannon,But i disigree with most you say,you do need chucks if your going to turn quality handles without spur marks.
hepa filter shop vacs work fine for dust collection,have been turning CoCo for 30 yrs with zero issues.
why spend $90 for a HSS sorby (great tools)when you can go carbide for half that.
I like finished inlayed ends on my brushes,you cannot do that turning between centers.
You need chucks for quality work.
