That¹s another direction I want to try. Basically, a cat head riding in a
ball bearing that mounts in the steady rest. This would allow me to
center a barrel by using the DTI inside a chamber or muzzle, where I
cannot otherwise take a skim cut while supporting on a center or run it
through the headstock. Should save some time and frustration.
That is what I have done. I made a steady that mounts a bearing, then
pressed in a sleeve that extends out one side, that extension has 4
holes drilled and tapped radially for screws that act like a four jaw
chuck. You initially have to indicate the bore to the chuck to get
proper height and X position and check face of the bearing for runout.
Between that and a Z axis DRO it makes chambering about a 20 minute job.
