I remember how I truly learned indicating center not long ago. I started doing it on my own. I was sooo proud. Did you swing your spindle into neutral? I find neutral the best way to do it . I couldn’t tell when you did it in the beginning if you threw it in neutral, or you threw it in high . Neutral is more free .
@@thebelieversvoices3461 I strictly do it in neutral because I think neutral gives a freer spin. Even high gear isn’t quite as free flowing. Neutral has no mechanism stopping it. You know what I mean it just spins. There’s no kind of gears or force or whatever is inside the machine. I don’t really know the mechanics of the machine like that but what I do know is when it’s in neutral there’s nothing stopping that spindle from spinning on its own when you spin it by hand. When it’s in low or it’s in high, it’s in a gear .
As I move the table in the X the indicator informs me the difference between the left side and right side of the hole as far as the location of the spindle which is where the indicator is . If I continue to split the difference I will soon be in the center where the indicator will read the same on the left side of the hole as well as the right. The same goes for the Y in a forward and backward motion. When the dial does not move the spindle is in the center of the hole. I hope that helps
If holes are all you have to go off of, then you'd pickup one hole and move X/Y to another known hole location and use the indicator to see how far off the two holes are. Use/make a pin in two holes and then either tram off one axis X/Y with the indicator touching the pins, adjusting the vise or part so that the indicator readings on the pins matches.

I actually don’t remember I do both

Thanks, Matt. Good stuff
thank your videos, this video help my job.
awesome video
Excellent AAAAAA +++++++
Thanks
Need a little more detail when moving the dial indicator around the circle .. idk how you got center

Once your X is equal about you zero it , then you come around to the Y and just zero that , then you repeat the process another time for fine tuning.
I get it but you also need to know that piece is square to the X and Y, how do you know that?
If holes are all you have to go off of, then you'd pickup one hole and move X/Y to another known hole location and use the indicator to see how far off the two holes are. Use/make a pin in two holes and then either tram off one axis X/Y with the indicator touching the pins, adjusting the vise or part so that the indicator readings on the pins matches.
