			=== Centering Tip ===

			A quick way to set the lathe cutter bit on center:

			Cut a strip of sheet metal about 1/2 inch wide and 6 or 8 inches long. Bring up the cutter with the cross feed to the work and then clamp the sheet metal strip gauge between the cutting edge of cutter and the work. If the cutter is on center, the gauge will lean toward you. If the cutter is above center, the gauge will lean away from you.

			This is real time save and quite accurate.
