And with the bolt I'd be worried about it cocking the cylinder and running out of true. Maybe its nothing to worry about, but the way I did it works great
    Yeah your right actually, it was square stock. Well you'd know if it was slipping.

    Yes, I'd figure it would be more accurate to have round stock. I don't think that these cylinders hold too much accuracy from the factory, I dought they do better then .003", this time I set the mandrel to .0015", plenty good enough, IMHO anyway. Hell most 3 jaws, your lucky if you can do better then .003" I think Nik does better then that, but he, that's what he does!!

    I try to keep an eye open for odds & ends scrap that I can use on the lathe. This cylinder jig I built here was a piece of tarp winder spool for a dump truck, it already had threads in it to bolt though the exhaust port. Turned it to 43.8mm for a snug fit in a 44mm jug'

    Parris, Good job on the cylinder! A lathe is on my list of things to buy. The problem is when I start to save up for one, I use the money on another saw.

    That's a cool looking rig, yes I'm definitely keeping my eyes out for scrap after I got rung up at the local matal market for this Alu stock.

    you're right, the fctory doesn't hold anywhere as near a tight tolerance as I try. I shoot for better than .001, but have seen factory cylinders on pro saws out as much as .007". as long as it's out accross the pin and not along the pin, it's all good. as far as the chips, they get recycled

    Thanks. I figure if I can do better than OEM, I'm doing ok. When I get my 4 jaw I should be able to do better.
