This is pretty similar, but I slowed the initial to 8.5 IPM, and the 
second touch to .1, with the probe wire spinning at 1250 revs.

I made a subroutine of my old code, fixing a few bugs while I was at it, 
passing the initial x,y, & rad in.  I'm within around 10 thou of my 
machines y limits, and finally had to clamp the chuck, then knock it 
about 50 thou toward the post before I got rid of all the run anyway 
requesters.

Thank you Jon, but I just now put the finishing touches on a routine that 
finds the chucks centerhole, then probes for and logs the 6 mounting 
boltholes in the back of this chuck.

I'll use a  bit of this code to locate the backplate centerhole, then the 
data logged by this, to drill/enlarge the boltholes in this backplate 
just enough bigger that I can skid it around to as close to zero run-out 
as I can get it.

I've now faced the surface of the backplate with a grinder, removing 
perhaps another thou, and its now a clean surface. And I have a feeler 
blade or two I can sacrifice for shims to correct the run-out 6" out. 
Theres always old faithfull Reynolds Wrap for shim stock too. :)
   
But its about din-din time, if I can get her to eat. Wasn't able to wake 
her last night, so she ate good this morning and again at noon.

Thank you Jon, I do appreciate it.

For finding one hole, it looks great!

Cheers, Gene Heskett
