Ok, i have ran into a problem with my woodturning today. I was making a Jr. Gent Retro Pen and it seemed that the pen was out of round. So when i turned it on slow speed, i noticed at the headstock end it was turning with a lot of vibration and out of round, but at the tailstock end, it was running fine. So i cleaned everything, checked to make sure that the headstock and tailstock lined up properly. I changed the bushings, changed the mandrel rod, I even tried using an adjustable mandrel to see if it could fix the problem, it still had bad vibration. I know nothing ever runs true, but there has to be something better. Does weather have an effect on how the mandrels work?
I have a jet mini Lathe, and a Jet JWL 1236, im getting ready to upgrade, but in the meantime i need this stuff to work,
i hope this is enough info to help me out, thanks
