[QUOTE="tobnpr, post: 1888084, member: 68758"] I understand completely. It's not rocket science. There's no need to indicate anything in a proper collet setup. Just like between centers, the mandrel will run true. Period. Stick a mandrel between centers (or the headstock end in a collet). If using a collet instead of a 4-jaw, that end of the collet needs to be turned true to fit the collet size. Other end of the mandrel in precision live center (or dead center with STP or other lube being careful...) True/face the receiver. Slide a sacrificial collar over the receiver ring. True the OD. Place it in the steady. Loosen the mandrel locking screw, slide the receiver forward with the steady so that the lug abutments just clear the mandrel. Lock down receiver to the mandrel and the steady to the bed. Proceed. Your [B]"this is how it's done" [/B]is condescending, and shows that you not only think there's one way (yours) to perform different machining tasks- but that you lack general knowledge as well.
