Default Re: Advice on Tailstock Pressures

So the last 4 passes are exactly the same program except .03 deeper on each pass. What is the smallest diameter? Try running a test piece and take the smallest diameter and move it up .5 or even 1" and try running it. It may jest be that the part is flexing from tool pressure. Also if your tailstock pressure is to high then. You can actually collapse the part.
