Hi DaveT You are saying 'differential deflection' finds the real planes. Can a shaft exist were the 'real plane' will change locations as it is trimmed to length? If a shaft was marked with 360 lines running the full length of the shaft then can a 'real plane' go diagonal, or do the planes always (100% of the time) run horizontal down the full length of the shaft? Not a trick question. I just can't articulate the answer. Thanks Harry S www.Golf54.com

It is much more than a spine finder, but it can certainly be used for the purpose, and is probably the one he uses most. It is also the one he uses to find spine by differential deflection. SNIP / SNIP He uses a FlexMaster. The straightness gauge I built for him also has a load cell with a zero-tare button, so it could be used for the purpose. But my load cell feature was an afterthought, and the FlexMaster is industrial-strength, so he uses that. I'm working on designing a more robust shaft profiler; sounds like a good winter project.
