John thanks for the reply "If you mount it into a normal chuck in the tailstock, and indicating on a part in the rotating lathe chuck, it will work exactly the same as having the coax spinning" quote from your first post surly in this case the coax is stationary ? it may be the way mine is but the pivot will only allow movement in one plane , as it pulls down on the levers on to the body and causes the innards to rise and fall thus operating the dial Stuart PS John I do not want to take your topic off track |

That is what I am trying to get across Stuart, if the part in the lathe chuck is off centre, the spring loaded stylus (kept in contact with the inner or outer wall of the part by the spring loading of the coax unit itself) will follow that eccentricity and give you your reading, as the main body slides up and down it's stationary spindle. A DTI would most probably do things a lot simpler, but there is nothing stopping you using the coax as I have said. After this, it means video, which I don't want to get wrapped up into at this time.

Pennys dropped John :doh: It will work with the stylus on the outer or inner of the part fine that I can see, but use the spring loaded centre probe in a centre pop mark and things would be different as the tip would describe a circle Any way I will not clog up this post with further waffle , If my skills allow I will try to make a vid in a new thread Regards Stuart PS keep up the good work and valuable postings , I to am mobility challenged and need a wheel chair or crutches for short distances |

Hi John, I expect the flywheel will look right nice with the rest of the engine, according to your description, and your description of using the centering indicator in the tailstock chuck sounds easier than my typical use of a dti stuck on my cross slide, to center something in the four jaw or on a face plate. That will be stored for future use. :beer: cheers, Jack |

Crank looks good, John. I like the washers on the chuck, too. Arnold and I both got a freebie. : ) |
