[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 398756, member: 2736"] Very good information. I took a different approach (One of many) and instead of building a different Mouse trap I just fixed the one that I had, by truing the lathe with as near perfect alignment as possible. with the instruments on hand ,(they read to .00005) I have been very happy with the Manson reamer holder. I have found that the tail stock requires consistant torque to reach zero. (It always started out .001 to .002 thousandths high)until I found a torque value that brought it in perfect. Sense aligning the tail stock, chamber run out has been immeasurable using the Manson reamer holder. also there is another one that uses a ball socket but I dont know much about it I think Specweldtom has one and maybe he can add to this post. I make a lot of my special tools also but this one worked so well I decided to go with it, It is a very good place to start if the lathe is true. Just some more information. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
