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.

Have you tried using it as a burnisher?

No I haven't but I can see after thinking about it that you could.

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.

Be interesting Phil to see how it works for you if you try it.
