Gentlemen,
I have a Clausing Colchester Master Mk1.5, built in 1966. I chucked up a 3/4" diameter endmill and put a dial indicator on the shaft and ended up with .003" of runout. This is a 50 year old lathe so I suppose that isn't too bad, but I would like to get it down to .001". The lathe has a Burnerd chuck with bolt on jaws (not sure what those are called). Any help is appreciated!
