[QUOTE="ken2m, post: 339284, member: 7269"] I realise that an auto tool change would be nice but I worked as a toolmaker for many years and when using synthetic and natural diamonds we made sure the wheels were placed on the spindle the same way all the time. Also any dirty surface would cause runout. A small runout causes the wheel to only cut on the high side and it is an intermittent cut, this may happen for the first 30 minutes or so before the wheel ran true again. We used centre punch marks to allow us to have the laps running as true as possible. Ken. [/QUOTE]
