I saw the email and fixed the buildbot.

Interesting. I visualize the DTI on a mag base sitting on the cross slide 
reading the back side of a skim cut. I have a virgin extruded alu rod 
about 1.5" in diameter, chucking it on a dialed center in a 4 jaw to 
make a dead center socket, faceing that end about 2 thou deep hollow so 
that it would sit straight on the clean mill table, then re-chucking it 
true but running on the dead center, with just enough of it in the jaws 
to get a good grip, then a skim cut with the DTI sitting on the cut 
ought to show what the lathe can do.  Keep notes!

Then move it to sit that square end on the clean mill table and run the 
DTI up and down all 4 sides with the z motor ought to give a pretty good 
indication of just how crooked the post is. Keep notes! hang the post on 
a sky hook and scrape accordingly. Wash, rinse and repeat till its 
square to the table, showing the same errors recorded on the lathe, 
ought to be a lot closer than it is now. Perfect of coarse depends on 
any room temp changes.

Since thats a bolted connection, left/right errors can be pulled with 
temp guy wires to the ends of the centered table while tightening the 
bolts. If the x gib is zero clearance of coarse.

It will take time I won't have till my lady is done.

Hi
One way to measure diameter errors to get the corrections is to fit a dial test 
indicator gauge so it measures a point 180 degrees from the cutting tool. Any 
errors in the turned diameter will be doubled.

For example, if the cutting tool path has an error of 0.01mm, then the diameter 
error will be 0.02mm. A DTI mounted opposite the cutting tool will see a 0.02mm 
error.

This method assumes the cutting tool path is repeatable.
