    Thanks for the video. FWIW, I find it easier/quicker to align the co-ax indicator to the gang tool holder with the co-ax spinning at a few hundred rpm. Most of the time, though, I do the alignment with my Haimer probe in 3/4-in 5C collet in the spindle, though that takes a bit of math..

    Do you know if Haimer makes a lathe tool setting tip? I know there is such a tool but it's freaking $800!
