I love the slimline. It is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and hand. I have turned about 50. But they don't all end up being beautifully concentric in-line straight pieces of beauty. Why do some come align properly and others do not?
I use an arbor press and take extra care to align the pieces before pressing together. I have had problems with both slimline kits and funline kits from Woodcraft, PSI, and Woodnwhimsies. Out of round after assembly. Am I doing something wrong?
Do I need a specific assembly press if I want to ensure alignment other than by arbor press? Do more accurate set-ups exist? Can I make my own? Just want to avoid all the "seconds" I weed out of my production, which seem to be 1 out of 4 (slimlines). I want to start selling locally at a gallery.
Thanks in advance for any help.
