But you don't need a lathe to turn a rod. As a matter of fact this is where my technique I think is better. I have a Mikta battery powered drill

Thanks Joe, I'll have to check that out. I advocate using a corded drill in my book because batteries are so expensive. I just had to replace the battery for my DeWalt cordless drill and it cost almost as much as the drill/case/charger/battery!

cheers,
