I'm with Neill. Are we are the only two turners who have ever had to put
a blank back on centers to adjust a tenon? Or, as Leo said, needed to
seat a fixed tenon in the jaw gap?

Tenons are usually easily adjusted for jaw gaps, dents on soft iron tool
rests are easily smoothed and spindle movements are easily measured on
ungraduated tailstock rams, but we shouldn't have to. I think " keeping
costs down" is a weak excuse. At the price of turning equipment today,
we shouldn't need to buy corrective add ons or take corrective actions?
