ok, my turn. i set the dial indicator and then turned the crank 90 deg each time. set the indicator at 0 at 6:00, and these were my readings the first time around:

0
.014
.001
-.012

did the setup again for out of round and got:

0
.012
.002
-.013

so, i have some .007 offset dowels. do i wait and get some .014's or do i just go for the .007? that will put me within range. FSM says .008, and the Robmc dowels I have say .010.

what would you do?

Okay, if I understand what you did, bottom = 0, left = .012, top= .002, right = -.013. TIR vertically is 0.002, off center is 0.001, no change necessary. TIR horizontally is .025, off center is .0125. The 0.014 dowels would get you within about 0.0015 off center, the 0.010 dowels within about .0025 off center. I'd use the 0.014 choice. But I'm anal.
