When turning wood the amount the headstock and tailstock are out isn't a problem but I free hand turn a lot of aluminum (some pretty large diameters 200mm) and then it's quite a problem. Drilling can wonder, the bearing in the headstock and live center are put under unnecessarily large loads... Anyone ever tried to true a 2436 up before. If so how'd you do it. Don't want to start pulling things apart and end up with an oh shoot moment if I can help it.
