Make yourself a puck to use with a live center that supports the end of the part during that eccentric turning operation. It should have an off center, center drilled hole on one side, and a PSA sanding disc ( or small spikes ) adhered to the other. Clock it correctly before applying pressure and you can turn eccentrics with greater support.

Mmmmmm interesting thanks for that. Ill look into it.
Would it help if the eccentric part was closer to the head stock?
Yes your right. It's just that I want to test the capabilities of my eccentric chuck and the mini lathe to their maximum.
