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?.
