How often are you flipping parts? Why not add small tenons on both sides of your parts and use a 4 jaw chuck to hold the work? It should be reasonably close to concentric.
Have you ever considered mounting a wood part like a spindle on a metal lathe by drilling each end of the stock with a center point drill and using two dead centers in the tailstock and headstock. Then drive the spindle with a lathe dog? I wonder how many people I have just lost with this description :-). I think this is way too time consuming, but if it really matters that much, maybe this is what you need to do. I like my first idea better. -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Bulkeley" <bulke...@mmnet.com.au> To: <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> Sent: Saturday, February 11, 2012 6:29 AM Subject: Re: What the World Needs Now: TK Extra Large Pilaster Dogs > that's a good idea I would also like a drive center with a center point too > to locate in the counter sunk hole > in the indexing hub that way your virtually turning between centers like on > a metal lathe so you can end for end the work and it will still run true > each time > Bill > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Begat" <bega...@gmail.com> > To: "Legacy Ornamental Mills" <legacy-ornamental-mills@googlegroups.com> > Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2012 1:15 AM > Subject: Re: What the World Needs Now: TK Extra Large Pilaster Dogs > > > Hello Tim, > > I will take that suggestion under advisement.
