I decided to use the tailstock to prevent the material from being pulled out
of the chuck. It took me until this point to figure out that it was the
raw material being pulled out of the 3-jaw chuck. With the tailstock in
place, the parting operation was nice and straight. Note that the hole in
the end was drilled, not center drilled, so the parting tool won't actually
touch the live center.
