I have just been setting up my lathe after moving house and have managed to achieve a run out of .0009" over 15" is this acceptable for general use or should I try to better it? The lathe in question is a Warco WM250.

If Warco can give nine tenths over that distance it's good enough for my purposes and then some! Looks like purchase of their new 1236 is looking more likely!
