Out of round spindle

[Edward Olson]

Are there any sure fire symptoms of an out of round spindle?

Edward, I asked what may be a related question in another thread, fairly recently. I learned a great deal from the responses and from practicing my box making. I may now be in a position to help; however, please provide more detail.

Turn it and it will be round. I guess you need to describe the problem better.

First one would be using wet wood and it goes oval when dry. But we're guessing with your limited information.

Pushing on the bevel too hard can make the tool bounce on wood that has soft summer wood and hard winter wood. This will make the tool bounce. Dull tools can also make the tool bounce.

Could be any of the following-bad bearings, wet wood, turning too small a diameter, pushing tool too hard.

Are you talking about the spindle (headstock shaft) of the lathe or something being turned?

The most obvious symptom is not being round

It happens occasionally. Somebody asks a question and then is abducted by aliens.
