Greg,
I you ever again try to face, bore or turn a part like that one which crashed your machine, I suggest you do not try chucking on the thin rim like you did. Instead, find 3 equal sized blocks and chuck against the main pipe diameter further out and closer to the end o the jaws to reduce the lever effect.
Or, just clamp in on the table of a milling machine and face with a milling cutter, bore or turn with a boring head.
Best of luck in your future adventures!
