This. Haven't bought one yet...it's on the top of the list...

You're welcome! Can't wait to see one of your new knives!

Yes! You got it. Snub up the pin as short as you can. A little flex can put you off center also. That is not too small a bore to indicate with a test indicator. So, after indicating in your rotary table. Use your pin to center the plate(clamp lightly)...then check the bore with an...

Make the hole bigger...sweep the rotary table....or...wonder where your error stacking is coming from. You HAVE to sweep the rotary table to know where center is anyway. Putting a pin through the plate will center the plate to the spindle....But is your rotary table on center? It has to be on...
