Hey Gents,
I work in a shop that works with various forms of SS almost exclusively. We specialize in drills, small shaft, and cannulated devices. Much of what we do is below .125 OD.
We have recurring rework issues regarding runout. Right now, they use the old dial indicator and press method to rework, which takes up tons of man hours.
Anyone have experience with using a speed lathe to work out the runout? I remember seeing an old-timer years ago correcting runout by applying pressure perpendicular to the shaft as it spun in a chuck. Many times, they just used their thumb to apply the pressure, given the small OD.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
