Thanks.? I'm probably going with a slight variation of your suggestion since I will need to bore the hole to a bigger diameter at the small end.? I'll start by chucking the small end, using the already faced surface to assist in alignment.? After indicating as you suggested,? I'll then face the large diameter end. Next, I'll flip and re-align the piece, using the now faced large diameter end against the chuck face to assist in the alignment.? Then drill through the existing center hole and bore the end to the larger diameter. From: "Warren LeMay notebook@... [7x12minilathe]" <7x12minilathe@...> To: 7x12minilathe@...

The new account worked great....and good photo too!!
I stay with my original suggestion - part it, flip it, center it,
drill it, and face it.? You also have enough of the small area to
indicate and even have finished the large area enough that you can
indicate there too.
Just to make yourself feel better, you might want to indicate the
large end, then take an inside mike and measure the finished area
to the ways.? If it's too far for your mike, a 123 block should
bring you to a test spot.
However, dialing in the small area in your 4 jaw as you normally
would, then checking the large end should do it.? If both ends
indicate, they are on axis.
