The consensus in an earlier thread seemed to be that closer tolerances between tube and mandrel could eliminate much of the play that tends to throw tubes out of true concentric. Joe Collazo offered mandrels that were .249" (for the "A") as opposed to the .246+/- .001 that seem to be standard everywhere else I've bought. Unfortunately the day I tried to place an order was the day he went out of business. Arrggggg.
Before I go to a machine shop and ask for custom work I'm hoping there are other sources out there that might have "standard" mandrels that offer a little tighter fit than what I've been able to obtain.
Any advice from anyone?
