Fitted DRO to Lathe, showed up movement

[rotorhead]

Hi All,

Many thanks for that review Andrew, it's good to hear from you, I've also been in touch with Bob of late.

I hadn't thought of fixating the trunnion, as I do use it occasionally, any clamp arrangement would also have to be disabled during taper turning.

My main reason for posting the thread, was to establish if there were others out there, whom had noticed the movement showing up after a DRO was in place.

Until fitting said DRO, I was completely oblivious to any 'floating' movement.

I had experienced the odd behaviour whist taper turning, but just put that down to the accumulated slide clearances.

I remade the bearing carrier to a closer fit in the trunnion, and made sure that the slides had the minimum clearances, which did reduce my observations of before.

I'll experiment a little more before plunging into a clamp....
