    Yeah, the Delta is a bit of a pain to get set. I finally gave up and took the top off the base ,and set it up so I could get at it easier. Reaching through that door, on my hands and knees was starting to really bug me.
    I wonder if you were fighting the spindle clearance dimension tolerance.
    I have three delta spindles. Two 3/4", and one 1/2", each of them will give me something different. Nowhere near the 3/32nds Andy is getting.My god that's .090"!! I was fighting maybe .020-.025.
    To make a long story short.,I got a chance to buy an OEM, 1",solid spindle cartridge for $50.00. I drove across CT rather quickly to get it! What a difference! Now I am maybe .0003 out.
    Now I have a bunch of 3/4" cutters that I probably will never use again.
