Be prepared to move the carriage in X bec of tool drift -- I've never
parted anything that didn't wind up convex or concave, unless it's very
small diameter, or tubing.

Whenever I have to loosen the toolpost or compound I reset it square with
the parting tool holder pressed against the end of the spindle.

Oh yeah, I knew I was forgetting something.
Which is proly why all my **** comes out convex/concave..... lol
