Hi Folks,
If I can poll the collective wisdom on this I'd appreciate it.
I'm not sure I have a problem, but I think so.
Turning down a rod I get a 0.015" difference over 5.5", please see:
I would guess that would turn into 0.030" over 11"?
If I turn a cone in the chuck and pull up the tailstock, they appear
to match up as near as I can tell.
My failed laser edge finder drew a circle around the the tailstock
center that looked centered to me.
I get this just turning a reasonably robust rod just clamped in the
chuck too (measurable difference between ends, forget what the value
is now).
I'm really lost on this, only thing I can think of (SWAG) is (horrors)
that the bed is crooked or perhaps the saddle is crooked?!???
I'm really out of ideas, am I expecting too much of the 7x12?
Thanks & take care, Vikki.
