It might be more in the spirit of helpfulness and in line with RCU's policy of not embarassing individuals i
f you were to ask your questions. Or state the way you do your bent shafts maybe even offer
to join FBD in his efforts to be helpful instead of your tongue in cheek assult on his abilities.

Thanks, Vic. [sm=thumbup.gif]
Awhile back I had a used S.T. 3000 with a bad vibration. I decided to tear it down and check the crank.
I had two other as well, all 3000's, I tore them all down. They were all used, and all three of them had
bent cranks....one of them .020 [:@].
Here's how they came out....it took awhile....me and my little brass hammer.
1. zeroed dial indicator
2. crank #1....less then .00025
3. crank #2....a needle width
4. crank #3....DEAD NUTS.
I shared this with Bill Robison at the time....he gave me a "damn good work, Dave" over the phone.
He said he couldn't have done better himself.
