[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1870323, member: 93138"] To the feller who didn't want that action honed, I'm curious as to why. Not judgemental, just curious. When I worked under a Tool & Die guy we frequently would make a one time use expanding mandrel to grab the ID of something on the lathe. The final pass was always made just before the part was mounted on it, making it as true to the spindle as that lathe could cut. An action is too long for that method to work, but with that in mind it seems like a tapered mandrel with [U]two[/U] expanding bushings would be a promising method to try. The typical commercial expanding mandrel with one, long expanding bushing wouldn't work well, needs to be a separate bushing for each end of the action. [/QUOTE]
