No, he's not. Bend the wire like a Z. Put one end in the chuck.
Bring the table up (or the quill down) until the free end of the

Keep creeping down until the end of the wire touches the table all
the way around as you turn the spindle. The further the end of the
wire is from the spindle centerline, the more accurate it will be.

Clever.


Still relies on the center portion in the chuck to be perpendicular and
straight else't the whole thing rotates around an inclined axis.
