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.


Indicate it parallel to the axis travel, unless you are already certain that the spindle is accurately trammed to the cross slide.

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