There are times when it's nice to have the center of the turned area coincide with the center of the lathe's X-axis. Less lost material, for one thing. If you're doing a cleanup cut on a shaft, for example, you don't want to lose a significant portion of the shaft. The better the TIR, the less you lose. If it is critical, you should be using a collet or dialed in 4-jaw chuck, but not everyone has one. If you need the utmost accuracy, you should be turning between centers. But they don't even teach that in machining school now. At least not where I'm attending. I know about if from extensive reading of the old info in literature from as much as 150 years ago. Once upon a time, no one had a chuck. Centers and a face plate, and dogs to lock the part to the face plate.
There were amateurs then, too.

Re: 618 milling attachment jaw plates
My wife's effort to clean my shop would involve a bulldozer. So I made a deal with her. I will clean the kitchen for her, if she won't clean my shop. Works well for both of us. ;)

Re: 618 milling attachment jaw plates
Wow, that’s amazingly great luck. Good for you. My lathe is currently in pieces on my work bench in All of the major components. Over the weekend I did some more shop clean-up and finally got all of the “stuff” off the top of one of my benches. I was then able to move the lathe pieces onto my second bench and free up one bench so I can actually start working on projects. I actually bought the lathe in pieces and did not have the benefit of seeing it run. I got brave and pulled the motor over to the working bench and rigged up the wiring to test it out. I was delighted to hear the quietness of the motor as it turned on. No noise, no vibration, just quiet. When I unplugged it and it started to slow down I waited like an expectant father and then there it was. That lovely click as the centrifugal switched snapped shut.? Pure music. Given the 1939 age of the lathe, I was sure I was in for a motor refurb including new bearings. What a pleasant?surprise.
Best Regards,
John

Your results are quite good, to be sure!. ?I suggest measuring a few different diameters and distances from the jaw tips.
From right at the tips and at least 6 inches out. Assuming you’re using a precision bar, of course.

Couple little case-hardened plates for the milling vise.? In a pinch I expect could do without the case hardening.? 2.5x7/8x0.25" and the same but 3/8 thick with crossed vee grooves for round stock.
