Ok well where to start. I have a central machine 7x10 mini lathe. after adjusting the gibs and slides have almost no lash in them. well set up the dial indicator on the chuck and have .001 run out. Using a round piece of HSS in the chuck. so i remove the check and check the spindle. runs perfect no runout. Now i know i am wanting to get a new 4" 4 jar thats independent. but i would also like to be able to use the 3 jaw. Is there a way to remove this runout or am i just better off to get the new 4" and then a 3" 3 jar also. thanks for any help. I wont even get started on the tail stock. i think it was made with a 10 pound sledge hammer and grinder and the guy said yep good enough.
