How untrue is it (in .001 of an inch)? Having .005 TIR is very common. Having 
.100 TIR is unusual.

Hi, Dave.

So, ... given my current situation, (I have an HF drill press with a
spindle that runs untrue) should I have a whack at it?  What do you
think?

I can't recall doing anything that would have bent it; my recollection
is that it's been out of true since day 1.  Chuck and arbour seem to
be OK, near as I can tell.

I was thinking that the MT2 taper had been cut wrong, but that doesn't
sound likely.

My other plan was to strip the head and try rolling the spindle to see
if the outside of it seemed straight.

Thanks for any suggestions.  (And anybody else who wants to pipe up
with an idea or opinion is welcome, too.)

Donald.
