somewhat rhetorical. This past weekend I went to turn a couple bottle openers as gifts. I have a mandrel that normally mounts in a morse taper drill chuck. It's not fancy, it's a 3/8" bolt with the head cut off and a stop pressed on by a machinist friend. Full history here is I'm spinning up (pun intended) my turning after a multi-year hiatus and most of my stuff is/was still in the boxes from when we moved.
Anyway, I couldn't get a blank to run true and figured out the bolt was bent. I can't imagine what happened to it in the box that it bent.
