[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 398754, member: 13632"] Thanks for the replies guys!!!! Double that for Fitch, I hope your fingers stop cramping soon :D:D The was a great write up, I'm very inclined to make a holder/pusher like you have. I like real clean and simple things as they usually work the best. The extra why it works and how it works really helps. The reason I want to use the tool holder over the tail stock is that I get .004 of up movement in a 4in movement of the tails stock spindle. I have also check how repeatable it is and I'm not liking it, granted it is probably better than I think and I'm being nit picky. My other reasoning is the fact that when I was building my action truing jig I was able to turn the outside and bore the inside very accurately, actually surprisingly so. So why wouldn't I want to use the most accurate, repeatable means of holding a reamer that I'm trying to run perfectly down the barrel? I check the repeatability of the carriage to come back to an exact position by recreating the movement that would be happening with removing the reamer,cleaning and lubing then going back and take another cut and I was able to easily return to that spot with accuracy that I couldn't even see on my .001 indicator. That and I think Chad Dixon has said a couple times to do it with the tool holder. This may not even require a floating holder but an adjustable fixed holder. I'll tinker with it more today!! A lathe is one of the best big boy things ever :D:D [/QUOTE]
