Re: [SouthBendLathe] Set Up my 16" - Test Cut

For sure deflection is a problem in the middle so I discarded the numbers that I felt would have been affected.  But the number I stated included everything but the actual middle.

In retrospect if I was totally serious about this I would cut a 2 1/2" diameter 18" long piece of aluminum and use it to minimize deflection.  Might actually do that at some point.  I started the testing by only cutting a 1" wide cut at the ends.  Once I was happy with that I did a full cut to get a better profile and eliminate tool position error from the DRO.

What do others do?
