A drive center in the chuck and a live center in the tailstock is generally the way it's done. The offset amount is not as big as you envision, so no mach Jesus.

Is there something you need or want to discuss specifically?

You could try heating the ring with a heat gun to soften the super glue bond enough to remove and re-seat the ring. But be careful and do it in a very well ventilated space as this can gas out cyanide gas from the glue. If that doesn't work the ring needs to be cut off and replaced. Simple task...

Put me on the list! Alan

Nope, I wasn't referring to you as a stoner at all. Just a reference to my original posting on this thread being a month before 4/20. I guess comedy is not for me. I'll see myself to the door. Alan

And a month too soon to be stoned.

It was actually a joke. The shaft is 3.8 oz. and the quarter makes it 4.0. The shown for size was the joke. Alan

PM me.

Induction heater on brass?

Yes, it will break.

Quarter shown for size

Still nothing from the seller. 550 bucks for nothing.

I've received no communication, tips or refund on the tip money I sent. That was 550 bucks.

.050 is quite a bit. You could always cut it with the tailstock recentered to closer to .800. Cut to around .805 and sand to match. Alan
