I don't worry about bar sag or indicator pressure. A good indicator doesn't have enough pressure to move a good test bar. And bar sag can be checked with indicator mount to bar end against tailstock center. If bar sage is an issue you need a better test bar or spindle bearing maintenance. Lathe is cutting much truer since adjusting head stock, so that is proof enough for me. Thanks for watching & commenting. Hope you subscribed!
What about bar sag and indicator spring pressure? Does that have to be considered?
