Parallel turning on a Myford ml4

Now that you have got your ml4 to turn diameters parallel try machining a bore to the same standard.

With the work piece held in the chuck or on a faceplate of course, not with a boring bar between centers.

If your lathe can do this you are as jammie as a jammie thing covered in jam!

Hi Jason , it does bore true over a depth of 50mm ,I've found it helps If you take a few ' spring cuts ' befor you get to your required I/D

You have got a good one there.I wish my ml1 was as accurate. More work required on my part i think!
