No one so far has mentioned vacuum chucking which is another option to

It's really not that expensive if you buy used parts, Derek..
I'm in the process of setting mine up now... main parts were from Bill Noble for
less that $200... I figure that if I didn't already have plumbing fittings and
stuff, that's another $20 to $40 including a couple of sealed bearings..
