Maximat V10P runs out

I then refaced the back plate and the dial gauge gave me a very nice zero read out, as in nothing. The center shaft required a small trim as well, otherwise the chuck was going to ride on it.

With the recut of the back plate I saw a zero reading on the dial gauge in all areas! Plus I had also removed the problem with the 0.003" Taper error that I thought the gear head had?

I recut the alloy tube I have been using, this time the work was good and I have a lathe that I can trust now.

My thanks to all of those who have offered advice in this matter.
