Well at least it is for me....
So I have high hats in the basement, as I was tying the guides on I noticed the light reflection on the top of the blank....turns out that the light shining straight down on the blank creates a shine on the very top of the blank which makes the PERFECT tool to alignment of the guides! I took four different blanks down there and the behavior is the same on each....no need for any other tool as the guides were perfectly straight 3 times in a row! Re: Guide Alignment BREAKTHOUGH

Works even better under tube style shop lights. Center your lathe under the lights. Re: Guide Alignment BREAKTHOUGH

Yup, I've been doing that for years. I think I read about it here. =) _________________________________________ "Angling is extremely time consuming. That's sort of the whole point." - Thomas McGuane Re: Guide Alignment BREAKTHOUGH

and of course the same "trick" works to align fancy butt wraps. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
