Maybe it's just me but it seems that frequently,I get chatter on a turning that seems to be comming directly from the spindle bearings. I don't have a dial test indicator that reads .0001s so I used an indicator that reads .001 and pulled real hard on a broom stick that was sticking thru the spindle it showed only .001 movement. I would like to buy a good test indicator and check this out again. So my question to you south bend owners is: do you feel under machined by these old cast iron type spindle bearings?(mine is a1943 model). If I do see more than .0013 of movement with a better indicator can I take shims out and be back in business? If any of you have any comments on this topic I would like to hear them. Thanks oscer
