Backing up the drill chuck with the toolpost is very clever. _Dan_

[@CraigsWorkshop]

I like it - and the tip about remachining a centre will come in very useful too. Cheers, Craig

[@camatbattler2233]

Thanks for your comment Craig. Yes the re-machining of the center is a trick I've used for over 40 years and it hasn't let me down. All the tips and tricks I use have predominantly come from other experienced tradesmen who probably learn't them from there tradesmen when they were young. Thats why I think this exercise Emma and John have challenged us with is great. We all get to pass those little tricks out to a wider audience. Cam

Hey Cam. Good to see you out in the shop again Great Tip to share. Seems there are NO secrets left to keep ? Everyone seems to be posting everything on KZbin, lol. To find true centre again i normally use an End Mill. To bring things back into alignment. Good one to share. Thanks for posting. Peter.

Works well , as you say it's best to have a good quality live centre with a proper thrust bearing . Cheers .

[@TomMakeHere]

I used this technique on my gearbox shafts for finishing passes Didn't know it was a semi correct method The centre correction is good one to know, cheers

[@camatbattler2233]

G'Day Tommy, it's all about passing on what we learnt through the years. Cam

[@rupert5390]

Hey mate really glad to see you're well on the mend - fantastic tip, will try this out - mate what's that cutting tool head you are usuing, is that something you've made up or is it a commerical product? cheers and keep well.

G'Day Gez 13, thanks for dropping by and commenting. The turning tool I use is described here ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2O3eZSmr8tnmdE ) at the end of the video. They are no longer available however a number of blokes have built one from the description. Cam

[@cannonroberts5129]

Great ideas

[@jameswalker8338]

Great tip. Also interested in that toolholder with the adjustable head. Very cool. Is that a custom holder? Commercial sourcable from where? Covered in a video you have done previously? Cheers.
