Metal Lathe Centering Roller Tool for chucked item A simple idea how I quickly center up small pieces of offcuts. Not saying this is how anyone else should do it, but it works accurately for most of the work that I do. It doesn't replace your Mitutoyo dial indicator for super accurate work, but as I say in the video its quick and easy. Hope it helps someone out. &t=228s |

Have you tried using it as a burnisher? |

I thought of trying mine to burnish items. I'd angle it by a degree or two. I may try it later! I've seen designs for a burnishing tool using a ball race and a ball bearing but burnishing couldn't get anywhere near a corner. My version of the Centering Roller has two bearings so that I can nudge things in X & Y without removing it from the toolholder. |
