Hi, I am new here and not sure if this is in the right section or not but here it is.
I have a couple of 6 inch long shafts that I need a taper on both ends, so I thought this would be perfect for turning between centers. My plan was to taper one end, flip the shaft and taper the other end. My problem is when I remove the shaft (not even flip it just take it out and put it back) I lose my concentricity, if I don't put the shaft back exactly where it was, I get runout anywhere from a .001 to perfect if I get it back "clocked" where it was.
I am going for the least runout I can get but is this as good as it gets between centers?
I was under the impression between centers had great repeatability and basically no runout?
Anyone experienced this before?
Thanks for any help.
