Do you happen to know the proper speeds and feeds for a pool noodle to turn it down to the proper size?

Also, what type of fixtures to hold the noodle would you recommend? Our 4-jaw chuck seems to gouge the part when clamped appropriately, and a tailstock appears near useless when it comes to preventing part wobble and chatter while cutting.
