Yep, thoughts can stay in a groove if not nudged. All that I was referring to with the "seesaw" is: Grab a little 6" steel rule, pinch the middle of it between a turned pointy bit of rod in the spindle's chuck and the top of the horizontal tap hat. When the table is wound either side of centre, the rule will tilt like a seesaw, being horizontal only when the point is centered. It's most sensitive with a reasonably sharp point. The method won't split a thou, but I have no way of lining the DTI up with the spindle centre, and its reading won't split a thou on the top of the cylinder, either.
