Just thought you guys might want to try this. It is a re-post just in case some of you missed it.
I do my final sanding and turning without a mandrel and turn between centers.
It is very simple really. Mount a dead center at the head stock and a live center at the tail stock. Turn between centers with the bushings still on the barrel.
That is it!!!
I saw it on the pics of the fellow member and I though that should work...no deflection no getting out of round....SIMPLE, CHEAP, and EASY. What else can I say?
I will try to post pics next week. I am out of town until Monday.
NOTE: I still do the rough turning with a mandrel. But care less about deflection and it being out of round. I fix that during the final sanding and finishing.
Both dead and live center are from Little Machine Shop
