I have 4 mandrels that are in need of straightening...This has become a major headache for me.
I mark a line along the shaft every inch or so then I put them in the adjustable collet and check with the dial indicator for wobble. I start to straighten with about an inch into collet working my way from long to short with a rubber mallet. Maybe I should use a sledge instead. After completing that I recheck the wobble all the way out and it seems worse than when I started. What am I doing wrong....(TBC is not an option right now)...?
