[QUOTE="RobinHood, post: 28943, member: 696"] Having worked with ABS (and other) soft plastic tubing, that is a common issue. As [USER=3]@Janger[/USER] mentiones, a close fitting plug for the inside of the tube works wonders. Suitable candidates are steel, aluminum, another (harder) plastic or hard wood. I would have tried with the cap on the piece of pipe - that gives enough resistance to the jaws for something to grip onto. Joe Pieczynski did a two part video a few weeks ago addressing deformation of plastic parts in lathe chucks. [MEDIA=youtube]KclVxRLNEbA[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
