I discovered a "groove" around one of my MT2 drive centers about halfway down the taper and can feel a corresponding "ring" in the headstock spindle. I am not sure which is the cause and which is the result, but am worried about permanent damage to the headstock spindle. Has anyone ever seen this problem and what did you do to fix it? I am considering buying a MT2 finishing reamer to try and remove the ring but am not sure how best to use it. If If I do it wrong it could be the first step down a slippery slope to replacing the headstock spindle - not something I'm interested in doing.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
Update - I posted the above without searching first - shame...shame...shame on me. I found a couple of prior posts with similar problems and decided to buy a reamer. However, if anyone has any details on how to use it, I would appreciate hearing them (i.e. dry or cutting oil?). Sorry to clutter the forum with redundant threads.
