BTW, any recommendations on a good, free, photo sharing site.? I originally went with Photobucket based on recommendations from this group.? What's the current fave? From: "Arthur Coe acoe@...

I tried to fix that - after fighting through about 20 ads.? Maybe it worked - not sure.? What a PIA.? I didn't realize they had screwed up their site like that.? Time to find a new photo sharing? vehicle :( From: "'Michael Jablonski' michaeljab@... [7x12minilathe]" <7x12minilathe@...> To: 7x12minilathe@...

When I try to view your photo on photobucket, it says "Please
update your account to allow 3rd party hosting". It used to just keep popping up
ads while I was viewing a photo.

Subject: [7x12minilathe] Painted Myself Into a Corner Again Thought I was being clever this time and started turning a piece on a
long hunk of 2" stock - so I'd have plenty of margin for error.? See photo:
?
Next step is to drill a hole through the center of the turned section,
starting from the tailstock end.? Unfortunately, in my cleverness, I didn't
account for the length of the chuck and the drill - I either need a longer lathe
bed or a shorter set up.
So, the next step now is to c ut off the turned section and re-mount it in
my chuck.? Which leads to my question.
I've gotten pretty good at centering a piece in my 4-jaw chuck, using
DI.? But, in this case, I need to center the counter sunk hole (where the
tailstock is currently mounted) and also make sure the axis of the hole I drill
will be parallel with the axis of the turned portion (IOW, make the axis of the
turned portion parallel to the bed).? The turned down portion is about 2"
long, so if it is not aligned parallel with the bed the hole will be off by
quite a bit.? Any advice on the most efficient way to achieve this
alignment?.
