I was in the shop turning a Panache this morning and noticed a problem with the tailstock end of the piece I was turning.
I am turning B2B so I know it's not the mandrel. It would appear that I am out of alignment on my tailstock as the headstock end of the pen is turned perfectly to the bushing.
The tailstock end seems to have a wobble turn to it. On one side of the bushing I am about 1/64" inside the bushing and the other is 1/64" out side the bushing (WAG at the measurement, but it's noticeable). The other quadrents are turned to the bushing level.
By eyeball when I put the Deadcenter and Livecenter point to point I don't see any problems.
I'm fairly new to turning and have pretty much reached my technical limit with troubleshooting this problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
