Reply To: Snapping a crutch.

Hey Paul, It just hit me… I wounder if there is a way to chuck up a tool in the lathe and THEN move something like this crutch arbor into the piece in the lathe. Just brainstorming but wondering if something like a stake fitting fairly close to pivot and using that to straighten, polish or burnish the pivot, kind of reversing the idea of how we normally do it, OR a hardwood dowel with a snug fit on the pivot could burnish…..Just me thinking out loud, any other ideas out there??????
