Coring on an Engine Lathe

Here is what I have done for dust collection. Mounts like an easy rest but with a simple knob to tighten it. Does a very good job of dust collection. I guess I am hooked on dust collection. I have sold dust shoes for CNC machines since 2009 (kentcnc.net).
That setup looks to me like it's going to shoot chips down the v groove of the gun drill out toward the tailstock in unacceptable quantities. I don't allow anything to escape. Nothing!

Video as a tool.

I record video of myself at least once a week. Then I try my best to focus on what I perceive as myself doing wrong. Between watching my own errors, and help from a terrific teacher on this forum to whom I've sent the video for help, I've gone from regularly losing to 420s to having won my last three chip tournaments, and beaten 3 straight mid to upper 500s in our in-house 9 ball league.

One step at a time...

Care to divulge said instructor?
