[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1364892, member: 24284"] In the big picture of things, chambering is nothing more than employing good machining practice. It is just careful thought procedures . It all starts before ever picking up a barrel. Lathe leveled to remove as much twist to the ways as humanly possible? Admittedly, the 'work', happens right up next to the head (if you chamber thru the head stock), but it is just good machine practice to have all straight as possible. Is the tail lined-up as close as you can get it, to the head? Type of tool holder. Is the chuck a direct mount or mounted to a back plate? Is that chuck a cheap piece, or a "real" piece of equipment? Cutting tool selection is equally important. These are all important considerations when setting-up any lathe, and not just for chambering. After all of that, there is no "right way" or "wrong way" to dial-in, as long as you get the desired result in the end is what matters. [/QUOTE]
