Hello I have a Craftsman dial indicator that has a magnetic base and I have been fastening it to the carriage and testing the 3 jaw chuck, 4 jaw chuck and the plain spindle of the head. The 3 jaw chuck was off by about 5 thousandths, the 4 jaw chuck was the worst with about 1/100 of an inch, and the spindle was the best in about only 1 thousandth of an inch out of round off.
Does anyone know how to straighten the out of round in the head spindle? I heard it is adjustable.
I got the Technical Books from Lindsay and they have a lot in there about engines. I like engines. Maybe I'll build an engine. Does anyone know if you can build an engine with only a lathe and a drill press (and not a milling machine)?
God Bless everyone.
And thank you for your help.
