going to use the two collar method to center the tailstock on my heavy 10. can i use a collet in the spindle instead of a lathe dog and faceplate. and dead center in the tailatock. or, is it necessary to turn the collars between centers
How do you prevent it from bowing if it's thin? And how do you know how accurate it has been center drilled?I like the method of holding thin flat stock square between two centers.
