MMorao schrieb: Tikka, you're absolutely right, it shouldn't do that considering that the tailstock is there to guarantee alignment only. I do mark end centres on the stockpiece, and punch a tiny hole on the tail side to lodge the point. However with the lightest pressure I can see it buckling already. As Galileo Galilei said, "e puor si muove"!
MMorao schrieb: Another thing: to make sure once and for all, I closed the chuck jaws and brought the tailstock close. Surprise, surprise, the tailstock point is 1mm below the jaws closing point!!!
MMorao schrieb: But don't pay much attention to this because this chuck movement is really not the smoothest thing on earth, very much cranky in fact. It's all done by Proxxon, but when I opened it as it when it wasn't moving when it arrived, the lube was so dessicated that it looked like it was from the time when Proxxon made fish hooks for the Kaiserliche Kriegsmarine!
