Announcement: How to: center work under microscope (finally)

[dlilazteca]

I have learned many things from the forum and I thank you all, after searching and searching I found there are many ways to center your work under microscope, laser and so on.

Here is what worked for me.

Hope it helps others

Nice video Carlos, I have the same method but instead using a piece of rod I put a red spot with a marker in the middle of my turntable, zoom out, center and zoom back.
I also put a soft cloth under my vise so it moves smoothly, it works great for me too.

Thats a great idea for turntables with no centering post, or if you loose it somewhere on your work table. ha ha

You might consider looking for an old drill press to upgrade your base. The drill press' mass and adjustable drill top really helps. Just hit the local classifieds or craigs, pull the power head off (resell it on the classifieds) and you'll really be far along.
