I'm thinking about doing some fixture to face and drill centre holes on both ends of shafts on horizontal mill before turning between centres( by rotating shaft 180 degrees)
As I'm not familiar with turning between centres I've got this question - is it really important to get both centre drill holes spot on coaxial and parallel? How will it affect turning if they are skewed somehow?
Normally they are created by mounting in chuck ,drilling one end then chuck second one and machining another but I saw some guys doing them with handheld drills on shop floor so i can't be crucial,right?
Sorry for newbie question but this is far from my regular work
