Hi,
Quite a while back I was able to purchase a rubberflex 91-A6 in good condition. At the time I had a Bolton lathe with a Din spindle mount and I removed the threaded backing plate thinking I would adapt it to my funky spindle.
Well, that never happened and I put it back together but realized I didn't mark the orientation as it was when I got it.
Now I have a lathe with the right threaded spindle and have mounted it up. I'm getting about .003 runout with my trusty piece of drill rod I use for measuring such things.
My question is, am I in acceptable range or should I attempt to clock it in better? And, if so does anyone have tips for how to do it?
Thanks,
John
