The whole IDEA is to bend the frigging wire so that when you spin
the chuck is traces out a circle in space that is perpendicular to
the quill--you then align the table to that circle.

Indeed, which is what I've said...

_IF_ that circle is rotating slightly off-axis, the length of the wire
to the point amplifies that and you align the table to it...

It relies for accuracy on the axis of rotation being colinear w/ the
quill precisely...

Fine, you keep doing it however you're doing and the rest of us will go back
to working our wood.
