Lathe run out

[RobinParticipant @robin]

I unscrewed the front. right foot until the DTI showed about a 0.0008" error.

I repeated the skim cut and measured it twice, using my new found skill for reading Vernier micrometers

Left-hand end 1.5696" or 1.5695"

Right-hand end 1.5698" and 1.5698" again

Will it stay that way?

26 thou on the screw moved it 1.3 thou on the diameter which is 20:1
