Is there any reason why a coax indicator couldn't be used to center a barrel in the lathe? I've only used one on a mill, but it's used to center a spindle over a hole. Couldn't you put it in the tailstock and use it to center the barrel to the tailstock axis? What's more, they're usually accurate to 0.0002". It seems like it should work... Thoughts?
Thanks in advance!
