1. A material processing apparatus comprising:
a holding member defining a holding member passageway having an inside diameter;
a base attached to the holding member and defining a base passageway;
a tensioning member partially disposed within the holding member passageway, the tensioning member having a first end, a second end, an outside diameter, and a main body defining a tensioning member passageway, the tensioning member moveable relative to the holding member between a first position and a second position, the outside diameter being less than the inside diameter of the holding member, the tensioning member passageway extending from first end to the second end;
an actuator attached to the tensioning member and moveable in a first direction and a second direction, movement of the actuator resulting in movement of the tensioning member between its first position and second position; and
an inner member adapted to be disposed within the tensioning member passageway.
