Shaft roll

[manwon]

Thanks.
Telling if the shaft warp against it's grain would be easy.
Indicate the warped area, check the high point.
I guess we are with semantics here.
A cue warping b/c of getting leaned too long is not a warp to me.
It's bent.
A shaft warping even though it was used and stored normally is a warp to me.

I don't understand how idicating the warped area will tell you which direction it warped in unless you did it before it warped and then after.

I totally agree it is a case of semantics.

I would hope if it was straight , it indicated at zero or near zero.
I don't think would have needed to indicate that before.

I think the direction of the warp would be the highest point in the indicator.
Unless I am mistaken on what warp is.

It would actually be easy to tell the direction of the warp by rolling the shaft on the table ( assuming all parts are concentric ).

I still don't how you can tell what direction the warp started. Once it is warped it could have started from the shaft collar down or in the direction of the ferrule up.

I don't think it is possible to tell which way it warped with or against the grain, and the truth of the matter is it doesn't really matter in the end.

It matters if you want a higher yield with your forearm , shaft, coring and handle stock.

I had a shaft that was never used. I know it was straight when i bought it. It has always been in a case in a climate control room. I pull it out a couple of days ago and and sure enough it ha a very slight high taper roll.I immediately brought it over the Mr. Searings place to see if thee could be something done about this. Remember it was in un-used condition.
he put it on the Lathe marked it with a pencil and then physically bent it by hand. Sure enough it was gone by the second time he did it. No water no hanging, no steam. Plus he stated that even though there can be some roll, it should not hurt playing with it with a shaft that has a taper roll.
Funny thing is if i didn't see it with my own eyes i wouldn't of believed this could of happened. Boy was i wrong.

Check it in a month and let us know if it is still straight!!
