Description
Can you center any part in a lathe chuck with near-perfect accuracy?
In this video, I show how I built a simple but extremely accurate DIY lathe centering tool that makes aligning workpieces fast, easy, and incredibly precise. With this tool, you can restore concentricity, reduce setup time, and achieve accuracy down to approximately one micron.
Welcome to Cool Ideas DIY! Here I share homemade tools, metalworking projects, workshop ideas, machining, welding and creative inventions.
In this video you'll see the complete manufacturing process, machining, welding, assembly and testing of the tool.
