Re: centering
i can hold the razor blade between centers and the lathe is all level i checked that all last night i found the steel stock i use may have slight bends in it when i only use a peice about 8 inches everything works great but a longer peice it all goes waist side and the centering bits are still off centered when i have a long peice in the lathe bad steel?

Re: centering
Clyde , boring always works best near the chuck . If you are boring a piece that will not fit through the spindle bore , you should have a center rest ( Please correct me if I'm wrong ) the farther away from the chuck with out the tail stock engaged your piece will want to drop due to gravity and slight play in the spindle bearings .
