Lathe accuracy
Many small lathes quote impressive but incomplete accuracy numbers in
their specs. For example, the Prazi SD400 (see http://www.emachinetool.com/new/cata...?ProductID=180) claims a "spindle accuracy of 0.0002". What would be a reasonable expectation of total accuracy? Say the variation in diameter along 12" between centres? |
