Re: Hex Turning - Runout Question
If you're using a quality collet and you're having trouble there's only 2 possible sources of error
1) your spindle nose/collet closer taper is jacked up
2) your hex stock isn't straight. This is probably the culprit, especially if you don't have this issue when turning round shaft. We've had some pieces from VEXPro that have had this issue, but have not seen this problem in awhile.
If you're not using a quality collet, get one from Hardinge or Lyndex-Nikken. McMaster's 3223A24 and 3223A25 are Lyndex-Nikken and have no appreciable runout in our experience. Well worth $35 ea.
